Podcast: The War of the Worlds Program #2

Filed under: Old-Time Radio — Charlie Summers @ 8:53 pm

This is the second version of the Mercury Theater presentation of The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells and adapted for radio by Howard Koch, provided to me by Martin Grams, Jr. and possibly from the collection of Terry Salomonson, proprietor of Audio-Classics.com. We will refer to this, for the sake of discussion only, as program #2.

I haven’t really had the chance to listen to this yet, so we’re going to explore the similarities and differences of the two versions together. I apologize for taking so long to get this posted, as I received it quite a few days ago from Martin, but life frequently gets in the way of our “best-laid plans.”

So for those of you are interested in comparing this to the other copy Martin provided to continue the discussion on the Internet OTR Digest, well, here it is.

You may stream the show using the player below, or download it with the link. Remember, by subscribing to this blog with any podcasting client (Juice, iTunes, etc.) the shows will be automatically downloaded to your computer or MP3 player!
