If you will,
Step back in time to the iconic night of October 30, 1938, as Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater captivate the nation with their groundbreaking adaptation of "War of the Worlds." In a daring move that blurred fiction and reality, Welles' radio broadcast brought H.G. Wells' classic tale of Martian invasion to life, sparking panic and fascination. Relive the suspense, the hysteria, and the ingenious storytelling that forever changed the landscape of radio drama.
