Description

Returning Protagonist Podcast co-founder Todd Mack joins Joe to discuss the 1938 radio drama performance of War of the Worlds. Orson Welles’s legendary broadcast is as famous for the urban legend around the panic it reportedly caused as it is for the story it told. We discuss the tale of the broadcast and the news reports around it, and then analyzes the story itself.
