Re-Imagined Radio | The War of the Worlds: Possible Influences

Re-Imagined Radio has celebrated the anniversary of "The War of the Worlds" several times by re-telling the story. This year, on the occasion of its 84th anniversary, we explore earlier experiments with radio storytelling that may have influenced Orson Welles's radio adaptation of the 1898 novel by H. G. Welles. In addition to samples from these earlier radio stories, interviews with Welles provide additional insight for this episode, "The War of the Worlds: Possible Influences."
