WAR OF THE WORLDS

War of the Worlds was a book written by H. G. Wells (considered by many father of the Sci-Fi genre) and lather made into radio soap opera and two hollywood movies. However, it was another Welles that made this story really famous, one Orson Welles. Mr. Welles worked on a radio program called the Mecury Theatre on the Air.
On October 30 1938 he aired a special show to spook everyone, and little did he know the wild repercussion of that. He presented a version of H.G Wells book in the radio that was so realistic that people were reported to have commited suicide, suffered heart attacks and cause panic to the general public.
This is one of my favorite stories of how pop culture can influence people. So I got a download of the original show in MP3. Best of all, it's really free!!!
