Around this time of year (Halloween), people are recalling (and re-playing) Orson Welles radio drama from more than 80 years ago called The War of the Worlds. This H.G. Wells drama presented on his Mercury Theater series aired on CBS. The series did continue on after that "martian invasion" broadcast, and this weeks Radio Vault Special Edition features the Mercury Theater show from the week AFTER War of the Worlds... Two complete dramas were presented back on 11/6/1938. We'll hear them in their entirety. Along with that, a very special broadcast of The Lux Radio Theater, a drama called "Young Tom Edison" from 1940 about the boyhood misadventures of the famous inventor.
FINALLY, while comedian and film star Danny Kaye was entertaining troops overseas, he had his friend Jack Benny fill in for him. Jack brought his entire cast to "the other network" just for Danny. We'll hear that show also from 1945. That and as always MUCH MUCH LESS on this weeks Radio Vault....10 AM - 1 PM ET Tuesday 10/26 on WHFR the station making waves at 89.3...streaming at whfr.fm.
