The 1938 original broadcast of "The War of the Worlds" is re-airing at Fishers Island Yacht Club today at 3PM, SLT. Hosted, once again, by Drwyndwn Tyne.
A true classic! The human mind is a wonderful thing. Imagine the only means of warning of imminent attack by an unknown force *OUT THERE* back in 1938 was radio. NO visuals, only words. Words seeping into your mind and conjuring up all manner of pictures, and with it, unspeakable fears.
Come huddle with us around the Clubhouse radio and get ready for a real treat!
When this originally aired, it caused a public panic that was so real, listeners actually ran from their homes for safety, and law was changed regarding radio plays.
