Podcasts about Orson Welles

In 1938, Orson Welles' War of the Worlds radio broadcast stunned America. It was a defining moment in broadcast history - reports claimed it caused mass panic, with listeners believing Martians had truly invaded, and fleeing their homes in terror. But how much of that panic was real, and how much was media hype?In this episode we're joined by A. Brad Schwartz, author of 'Broadcast Hysteria: Orson Welles's War of the Worlds and the Art of Fake News'. He helps us to separate fact from fiction, and explains what this story tells us about the power of mass media and the spread of misinformation.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Tim Arstall.You can read the letters written to Orson Welles about his famous broadcast here -https://quod.lib.umich.edu/w/wow/.Join Dan and the team for a special LIVE recording of Dan Snow's History Hit on Friday 12th September 2025!

New Jersey, as everyone in UFO world is aware, was ground zero for a full-on flap involving what most witnesses reported as mysterious drones. What's noteworthy is that this same region was where residents panicked during Orson Welles's radio production of The War of the Worlds in 1938. It's also the area where there were two flaps in 1966, one in January and another in October, with the most dramatic reports centered around the Wanaque Reservoir. In this blog, we'll focus on the January flap. At that time, several different investigators arrived on the scene, and as a result, there are several different versions of what happened.Read more →Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/podcast-ufo--5922140/support.

Give to help Chris make the Truce Podcast Hal Lindsey published The Late Great Planet Earth in 1970. It was a HUGE hit, selling over 35 million copies by 1999. It was also produced into a film narrated by Orson Welles. That film was shown in movie theaters and church basements and made a splash. The movie is a repackaging of premillennial dispensationalism, which I covered last season. It presents a particular vision of end-times theology, which wrongly predicted that the world would end around 1988. We're going to discuss the book and movie because they have had a real impact on the way that some evangelicals see the world. I'm joined on this episode by Ray McDaniel, pastor of First Baptist Church in Jackson, WY, and Melvin Benson of the Cinematic Doctrine podcast. Chris on the Cinematic Doctrine Podcast Hamilton Ernest Scared Stupid Ernest Saves Christmas Gremlins Sources: National Endowment for the Humanities article The Late Great Planet Earth book and movie Cortney Basham's Master's Thesis The Day of the Dolphin trailer Imdb.com Questions: Have you ever seen The Late Great Planet Earth? What did you think of it? The book and movie echo the Bible in that a false prophet can be identified when their prophecies don't come true. Hal Lindsey's predictions have been wrong for decades. Does that make him a false prophet? What impact do books and movies like this have on the Christian culture? If a book or movie like this does some good (like bringing some people to Christ), but also makes false prophesies, is it still valuable? Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey everyone, James Scully here, producer and host of Breaking Walls, the docu-podcast on the history of US Network Radio Broadcasting. I wanted to let you know about a new webinar I'm doing this Thursday July 17th, at 7PM on Orson Welles' early career of Orson Welles through the end of 1941. If you can't make it live this Thursday July 17th at 7PM, don't worry, I'll be emailing every person who registers a video of the webinar once it's over. Here's a link to register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/orson-welles-career-part-1-from-boy-wonder-to-trouble-maker-webinar-tickets-1445315741289?aff=oddtdtcreator Some more information: Throughout the last one-hundred years of American entertainment, few people have gotten as strong a reaction as Orson Welles. A rare quadruple threat: writer, director, actor, producer, Welles found immense success on stage, in films, on television, and in radio. In fact, he took center stage in the United States on more than one occasion… and not always to a positive reaction, but always with pushing the creative envelope in mind. Welles managed to alienate the newspaper industry, the Hollywood studio system, and occasionally even the broadcasting networks, but he rarely had a door closed in his face. Welles was known to work himself to the bone, and party even harder. He had romances with some of the most famous and attractive women in the country, including Virginia Nicholson, Dolores del Rio, and Rita Hayworth. He was hailed as a genius, a charlatan, a magician, an incredible friend, an a***hole, a hard-driver, a steady worker, and a man who drank too much. Welles liked to joke that he began his career on top and spent the rest of his life working his way down. Such a strong-willed, creative person deserves an in-depth look. In Part 1: From Boy Wonder To Trouble Maker (1931-1941) we'll explore Welles' early life, through his explosion of success in the 1930s all the way to the end of 1941, complete with audio clips and highlights including: • Beginnings in Illinois and China — How they helped shape Orson • The Todd Seminary School — His first exposure to theater and Radio • Connections and Early Breaks — How his mentor Roger Hill, Thornton Wilder, Alexander Woollcott, and Katharine Cornell helped Orson get to Broadway • Orson meets John Houseman and Archibald MacLeish, and first appears on the March of Time • 1935-1937 — From the March of Time to the Columbia Workshop, and how Irvin Reis taught Orson how to create for radio • How the US Government shaped the opportunity for Orson to write, direct, and star in Les Misérables on the Mutual Broadcasting System in 1937 • The Shadow Knows! — Agnes Moorehead and Orson Welles' one season on The Shadow • The birth of the Mercury Theater on the Air as First Person singular. How its success led to the most infamous night in radio in October of 1938 • Mainstream success with Campbell's Soups • Orson goes to Hollywood, and signs the greatest autonomous film contract in history at 24 • Citizen Kane — How William Randolph Hearst and RKO shaped the film • Lady Esther Presents — Orson comes back to radio in the autumn of 1941 • Pearl Harbor Day and collaborating with Norman Corwin • How Joseph Cotton introduced Orson to Rita Hayworth Afterward, I'll do a Q&A — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged! Can't attend live? Not to worry! I'll be recording the event and sending the video out to all guests who register so you can watch it later. See you (virtually) there!

This is the final week in our mini-tribute to writer/director/producer Norman Corwin. Today we are bringing you  a special broadcast, "God and Uranium," originally aired on August 19, 1945. This historical recording showcases the commemorative writings of Norman Corwin, presented by Orson Welles and Olivia de Havilland, reflecting on VE and VJ Days and the implications of the atomic bomb. The broadcast emphasizes the end of World War II, the sacrifices made, and the need for continued vigilance and effort to secure a lasting peace, contrasting the rapid declaration of war with the slower, more complex pursuit of peace.

Unser nächstes Werk wird ein Kinderbuch über einen brutalen Killer namens Hamster Gerald. Gespielt von einem besoffenen Orson Welles. Aber der Reihe nach. Zunächst mal klären wir, was ein Blurb ist. Nicht schlecht. Dann lösen wir ein Scheißproblem mit dem absoluten Minimalaufwand und wundern uns, woher Iris ihre Spülmaschinenkompetenz hat. Und widmen uns der Frage, ob Nein-Sager nur reuige Ja-Sager sind. Die meinen das ja nicht böse. Was kommt für euch zuerst? Prinzipien? Oder einfach mal machen? Habt ihr eine 100-Punkte-To-Do-Liste? Bedenkt: In England müsst ihr beweisen, warum sie gut ist. Und nebenher Tee kochen. Kommt mit auf eine Reise durch unsere kleine Welt und checkt bitte die Route auf eurem Smartphone, wir haben keins. Aber wir behaupten uns trotzdem gegen Zweifel und verwandeln alle Messer im Rücken mit passiv-aggressiver Contenance in Rückenwind. Ist deutscher Humor nur eine sozial akzeptierte Form des Kleinmachens? Und was hat es mit Bernd Leemann, dem deutschen Bruce Lee auf sich? Sind alle Katholiken sadistisch? Und sollte Iris Matthias beschießen oder in Watte packen? Oder beides? Hört euch all diese Fragen, Antworten und mehr in dieser Episode an.

This week on Movie Mistrial, we tackle the titan of classic cinema—Orson Welles' Citizen Kane. Is it truly the greatest film of all time, or has its reputation eclipsed its relevance?Citizen Kane revolutionized filmmaking with groundbreaking cinematography, non-linear storytelling, and deep character study. Welles' portrayal of Charles Foster Kane is as complex as the real-life figures who inspired him, and the film's themes of ambition, isolation, and legacy still resonate today. “Rosebud” isn't just a mystery—it's a cinematic milestone.While Citizen Kane is revered by critics and scholars, some modern audiences find its pacing slow and its emotional impact muted. Its innovations, though important historically, may feel less striking to viewers accustomed to decades of films that followed its lead.Join us as we peel back the layers of Citizen Kane—discussing its artistry, its influence, and whether it still deserves the crown in today's cinematic landscape.Connect with us and share your thoughts:Twitter: http://tiny.cc/MistrialTwitterFacebook: http://tiny.cc/MistrialFBInstagram: http://tiny.cc/MistrialInstaVisit our website, www.moviemistrial.com, for more captivating episodes and to stay up-to-date with all things movies.

Elmyr De Hory was the greatest art forger of all time.  By the time he was exposed in 1967, it's estimated he had created over 1000 works that had been sold as by Picasso, Modigliani, Matisse, Derand, Duffy, and various other modern masters, and many of which remain undetected in institutions and private collections around the world.   But does it matter if we believe it's a Picasso and we enjoy it as such?   Mark Forgy came to Europe as a 20-year-old backpacker in 1969, bumped into Elmyr on a quayside in Ibiza, and lived with him for seven of the years between his exposure as the greatest art forger of all time in 1967 and his suicide in 1976.     It was a whirlwind life of culture, glamour, intrigue, Hollywood stars, dodgy writers, and psychopathic villains, all of which can be glimpsed in the extraordinary Orson Welles film ‘F For Fake'. Welles visited Elmyr in Ibiza and used his life for a meditation on the poetry of what 'fake' means, of what truth means, of what facts mean in comparison with a good story, a great image, an extraordinary performance.   Mark came to the Bureau to tell us all about it and to muse on whether the products of Elmyr's undeniable genius were really any less authentic than the art world itself.   In our time of fakery, epic frauds, fake news, fake gurus, fake identities, deep fakes, 'my truth not THE truth', feelings over facts, a time when the distinction between Reality and AI-generated content is getting very difficult to spot, this story seems very prescient..   Mark's book The Forger's Apprentice Orson Welles' 'F For Fake'   Photographs courtesy Mark Forgy/   #ElmyrDeHory #BureauOfLostCulture #Elmyr #forgery #artforgery #fake #artworld #OrsonWelles #FforFake #Ibiza #fernandlegros #markforgy

Antony continues a scene-by-scene analysis of Orson Welles' Citizen Kane. As we enter the second half of the film, things are still going reasonably well with Charles Foster Kane, but the slow descent into despair and emptiness will soon begin with the famous ‘breakfast table montage'.As you listen to this and/or watch the film, it's worthasking a fundamental question about acceptance of reality and whether public acclaim is merely a poor substitute for something fundamental to a happy life. The final part of this series will be out at the end of the month We hope you enjoy the show! 'Film Gold' is on all the main podcast platforms.  Feedback to contrafib2001@gmail.com  Facebook⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/filmgoldpod⁠⁠ Twitter⁠⁠https://twitter.com/FilmGold75⁠⁠ Antony's website (blog, music, podcasts) ⁠⁠https://www.antonyrotunno.com⁠⁠ Antony's John Lennon/Beatles and Psychology/Alt.Mediapodcasts ⁠⁠https://glassoniononjohnlennon.comhttps://lifeandlifeonly.podbean.com/ Support Antony's podcast work (Film Gold, Glass Onion: OnJohn Lennon and Life And Life Only) at⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/antonyrotunno⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠OR⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.buymeacoffee.com/antonyrotunno⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ episode linksCitizen Kane film pages⁠⁠https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033467/?ref_=fn_all_ttl_1⁠⁠⁠⁠https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_Kane⁠⁠ Original trailer for the film⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dxh3lwdOFw⁠⁠ The life of Charles Foster Kane⁠https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Foster_Kane⁠ The Citizen Kane files (Wellesnet archive)⁠⁠https://www.wellesnet.com/citizen-kane-resources/⁠ The breakfast table montagehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfl2M8B9WA8 Do we create our own reality?https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/intimacy-path-toward-spirituality/201412/do-we-create-our-own-reality How to accept yourselfhttps://psychcentral.com/lib/ways-to-accept-yourself Are the rich more lonely?https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/are_the_rich_more_lonely

Put on your latex head-cap and grab your Thermian translator — this week, your starfleet of snark is diving headfirst into the unlikely sci-fi cult classic that beamed itself into nerd hearts everywhere. Jordan and Heigl travel back to 1999 to explore how a fake show about fake space heroes somehow made real Trekkies weep with joy — and earned an honorary place alongside the actual Star Trek movies. You'll hear how Leonard Nimoy accidentally inspired the original script, why Kevin Kline (not Buzz Lightyear) was supposed to lead the crew, and how Alan Rickman — literal Shakespearean royalty — somehow found himself next to a farting Tim Allen...and hated every second of it. (So did everyone on the set.) Heigl delves deep into Allen’s pre-fame life as a coke mule with a prison stint under his belt, Jordan talks about psychologic effects of space travel and Orson Welles’ touching friendship with Winston Churchill (for some reason), and they both luxuriate in the decades-long feuds between Star Trek cast members. The pair go on to discuss the worst-dubbed F-bomb in cinematic history, why comedy legend Harold Ramis prematurely departed the project, and all the reasons why the producers were terrified they were going to get sued. You’ll also discover how the film’s parody became prophecy, predicting not just the rise of fandom, but the emotional power of obsessive nerdery years before Comic-Con went corporate. So whether you’re a diehard fan or just here for the fart jokes, this one’s for you. By Grabthar’s Hammer — it’s podcast time!

Our journey back through the years of Suspense continues with my favorite episodes from 1944. Lucille Ball is a taxi dancer who hopes to avoid a murderous dance partner in “Dime a Dance” (originally aired on CBS on January 13, 1944), and Charles Ruggles suspects his new housekeeper may be too good to be true in “Suspicion” (originally aired on CBS on February 10, 1944). Orson Welles stars in a rare two-part Suspense science fiction drama “Donovan's Brain” (originally aired on CBS on May 18 and May 25, 1944), and Vincent Price and Ida Lupino co-star in “Fugue in C Minor,” a Gothic horror drama from the pen of Lucille Fletcher (originally aired on CBS on June 1, 1944). Charles Laughton encounters a strange man who claims to have invented an undetectable method for murder in “The Man Who Knew How” (originally aired on CBS on August 10, 1944), and Gene Kelly enjoys a seemingly supernatural streak of luck…until he doesn't in “The Man Who Couldn't Lose” (originally aired on CBS on September 28, 1944).

If the Western is the godfather of American cinema, then the crime film is its son. With tough guys, shootouts, and explorations of morality, these movies capture the seedy underbelly of a post-war urban world.

Hot takes are bound to happen. - - - Today's Sponsor: Helix Sleep - Go to https://helixsleep.com/klavan to get 27% Off Sitewide + Free Bedding Bundle (Sheet Set and Mattress Protector) with any Luxe or Elite Mattress Order.

Join me on a trip back to 1943 and my favorite episodes of Suspense from that year. It was the year production of the show moved from New York to Hollywood, which meant it was easier for film stars to make appearances, and it picked up a sponsor in the form of Roma Wines. We'll hear Maureen O'Hara as a debutante turned detective in “The White Rose Murders” (originally aired on CBS on July 6, 1943), and Warren William reprise his big screen role as The Lone Wolf - a reformed jewel thief turned sleuth - in “Murder Goes for a Swim” (originally aired on CBS on July 20, 1943). Agnes Moorehead cements her status as the “first lady of Suspense” in the legendary “Sorry, Wrong Number” (originally aired on CBS on August 21, 1943), and Orson Welles plays a hunter who tracks human prey in “The Most Dangerous Game” (originally aired on CBS on September 23, 1943). Finally, Charles Laughton is a patriarch whose family reputation may be sullied by murder in “Wet Saturday” (originally aired on CBS on December 16, 1943), and Peter Lorre finds his foolproof murder scheme had an unexpected complication in “Back for Christmas” (originally aired on CBS on December 23, 1943).

“And one year, Ariel [Detergent] was, like, you know that 95 % of the people in India still think laundry is a woman's job. And Ariel was just, like, gosh, that doesn't seem like it's, this was 2017 or ‘18 at the time, [and] they're like, that doesn't seem right. Like, it's, haven't we all moved past that? So they created a campaign they called ‘Share the Load.' And what they did is they went out there and they advocated a hashtag, #sharetheload with, for everybody in the family to help with the laundry. It shouldn't just be mom's job anymore. And of course, this kind of air cover for someone who is burdened with this task would just elicit a huge thank you because you're just helping to make their lives better, and you haven't done a darn thing. It's not about the product. It's positioning. Yeah, it's, like, ‘here's what we know you care about, and so we're going to prove that we care about you because we care about that.' Sales went up 76%.” – Reid HolmesThis episode's guest has spent over thirty years leading the creative departments of some of the best ad agencies in America. His idea for H&R Block, “You Got People,” garnered four million new clients, and his work changed the trajectory of brands like Burger King, The Mayo Clinic, KeyBank, and many others. He also has multiple public-speaking awards as he helps audiences gain a deeper understanding of how clarity creates impact. He's won almost every award in advertising and has been featured in The New York Times, Adweek, Advertising Age, Forbes, and Communication Arts.But as his kids started graduating, he realized he wanted to leave a legacy. He found an approach that inspires businesses, marketing teams, and those they wish to attract. His #1 best-selling book, Appreciated Branding: Transform Your Brand from Ignored to Irreplaceable, has become a go-to mature-brand playbook. His name is Reid Holmes, and he'll be sharing his perspective on advertising today, how brands can use sound to stand out and be more memorable, and where he thinks things will go from here.

And it was Orson Welles, who has the pipes for audio.” He tells us more about his family's history in advertising and about how it led to his own career. “I was like, well, my mom was in advertising and my uncle's doing really well in it,” Reid explains. “I should give it a shot because it seems like it runs in the family, and maybe I'd be pretty good at it.”(0:13:02) - The Evolution of Radio...
