This episode of Re-Imagined Radio celebrates the 83rd anniversary of the most famous radio broadcast ever, The War of the Worlds. Orson Welles and The Mercury Theatre on the Air adapted the 1898 novel by H.G. Wells for radio and on October 30, 1938 both shocked and amused listeners with their realistic sounding storytelling about the invasion of Earth by beings from Mars.
Since then, The War of the Worlds has been redone as films, comics, a musical, and countless radio programs. Each of these iterations was faithful to the original. We have re-imagined this classic radio drama and hope you will enjoy the changes.
Every month, third Monday of the month, Re-Imagined Radio presents audio art and drama as community performance and 21st century storytelling using radio broadcasts, listening events, live and on demand streaming, and more. See "How to Listen," below, for information about when and how to listen to this month’s episode.

Next month, Re-Imagined Radio presents "Candy Matson Tribute", our appreciative nod to the popular female detective series Candy Matson (1949-1951), a weekly radio drama series noted for its strong female protagonist. Candy Matson was a compelling alternative to the popular male detective radio genre during the 1940s and 1950s, and the best of the popular female detective programs. We’ll listen to the first and last episodes of the series which serve as effective bookends for this truly interesting example of radio storytelling.
