(To be read in a dramatic voice) No one would have believed... ... that a tale so vast- of death, alien destruction, heat rays, Phil Lynott, and the Moody Blues- could be told through orchestral prog rock, synths, and frying pans. Yet today, Frizz and Bob pop open Quest's End Paladin Whiskey & Ardbeg Uigedal Scotch to bring you PART ONE of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds- a British sci-fi marvel that, for decades, has been misunderstood and mostly unseen by the American eye. In this first chapter, we set the stage: The backstory. The architects of the sound. The players of this curious sonic war. The chances of you missing this are a million to one, they said. Yet, here you are. Next week... the invasion begins.

In October of 1939, just before Halloween, the folks at CBS wanted to cook up something special to scare the kiddies young and old, and they definitely did. Matt goes into detail on the panic and mass hysteria caused by the Orson Welles radio broadcast of War of the Worlds, a false reporting long before the eras of the fake serial, the mockumentary, or found footage. Matt also goes into the wild broadcast aftermath that happened later in Quito, Ecuador.They also talk about silly geese, the classics, WWII weirdness, giant offset trucks, and the infamous missing food from Episode 46...

It's not just a horror movie with a killer horse with a horn. There's much more to the story and themes of the film. Jay is still enjoying westerns with a variety of tellings of the same, classic story. Tombstone (1993) and Gunfight at the OK Corral (1957). Inspired by news of Val Kilmer, Tombstone reminds us why this performance is so well loved. And Gunfight… spotlights the decade it was made with a different kind of interpretation.

Drones reported in Bayonne, New Jersey! No —actually it's our episode celebrating Stephen Spielberg's epic Sci-Fi thriller based on H. G. Wells novel. This classic earned notoriety from the now famous production of the radio play by Orsen Welles Mercury Theater, which was so convincing that some listeners really believed Martians had landed in Grover's Mill, NJ. In 1953, Paramount would release a full cinematic treatment with some of the most impressive visual effects at the time, and we're rewarded with an Oscar for their efforts. Spielberg's installment is updated and brilliantly paced, and the visual effects are (we think) some of best in an era dominated by digital “gloss”. Tom Cruise turns in one of his best performances, and a young Dakota Fanning makes another entry as a child actor into what has been a long and successful transition to present day. This film is a gripping and fun ride. And we thank Tim Robbins for totally creeping us out in the role of Harlan Olgivy.

This time on Ron's Amazing Stories we have something special - one of my favorite stories, H.G. Wells' 1898 novel, War of The Worlds. As a kid, I was both terrified and excited by the thought of life on Mars. We've had War Of The Worlds on the show before, but it was only 30 minutes long and failed to capture the story. So, we have the Lux Radio Theater version, which does a great job telling this fantastic tale. The sound effects alone rival those in the movie, and the acting is even a tad bit better! It was created by Lux Radio Theater and stars Dana Andrews in the role of Professor Clayton Forrester. I think that you are going to enjoy it! The Martians have ruined their planet and have decided to take ours for themselves, removing all humans in the process. I won't give away the ending, but I will say that things don't go as they planned. Featured Story - War Of The Worlds War of the Worlds is a science fiction novel by H.G. Wells, first published in 1898. It tells the story of an alien invasion from Mars, where Martians with advanced technology and disregard for human life invade Earth. The narrative is notable for its realistic portrayal of panic and societal breakdown in the face of a superior force. What you will hear is Lux Radio Theater's adaptation of the story. It first aired in August of 1955. Ron's Amazing Stories Is Sponsored by: Audible - You can get a free audiobook and a 30 day free trial at .

On a warm Halloween Eve, October 30, 1938, during a broadcast of H G. Wells' War of the Worlds, Orson Welles held his hands up for radio silence in the CBS studio in New York City while millions of people ran out into the night screaming, grabbed shotguns, drove off in cars, and hid in basements, attics, or anywhere they could find to get away from Martians intent on exterminating the human race. As Welles held up his hands to his fellow actors, musicians, and sound technicians, he turned six seconds of radio silence—dead air—into absolute horror, changing the way the world would view media forever, and making himself one of the most famous men in America. The revisionism lately of Orson Welles War of the Worlds 1938 broadcast is that it did not affect many beyond l the East Coast and most people did not believe Martians had invaded and were exterminating the human race with heat ray guns and poisonous gas. William Hazelgrove's new book “Dead Air The Night Orson Welles Terrified America,” points to a different America thrown into mass panic from the broadcast produced and directed by the twenty-three-year-old Welles.Did people really believe that Martians were exterminating the human race and did mass panic engulf the country? Willliam Hazelgrove makes a convincing case people did believe the broadcast and the ensuing terror and panic was a real time example of what would happen if aliens ever did land on earth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Something mysterious has been going down in New Jersey this week…but it's NOT drones. It's that thousands of people are looking at airplanes in the night sky and thinking they see UFOs. What causes mass delusions like this wave of now mostly debunked drone sightings? In this concluding episode of How We Got Here, Max and Erin share four stories of famous mass hysterias and talk to William Bernstein, an author who writes about the science of mass delusions and why they happen.

Starting on November 18 of 2024, people in New Jersey started reporting mysterious SUV-sized drones flying over. They were seen over Trump's Bedminster Golf Club, NJ's Picatinny Arsenal, Naval Weapons Station Earle, and city streets. In this episode, we update you on the latest about these drones and present a special DOUBLE FEATURE rewind from two past stories that the drone sightings have us thinking about.  The Battle of Los Angeles: Real Bullets & Imaginary Targets Episode Originally Released Jan 17, 2022 On February 25, 1942, the sky erupted with gunfire and anti-aircraft rounds. The ground-to-air assault went on for an hour, and the intended target was an invading Japanese air attack. But there was no enemy. The entire thing was a huge false alarm. It became known as the Battle of Los Angeles. In this episode, we tell the story about the air raid and then talk with Magicians Meadow Perry And Daniel Greenwolf! Mass Hysteria and the War of the Worlds Episode Originally Released July 24, 2022 Did a radio broadcast about Aliens cause mass Hysteria in America in 1938? The Internet Says...maybe. Orson Welles's radio performance of H.G. Wells's War of the Worlds has become infamous as causing panic throughout the U.S. when people thought it was a real news report. But is the story overblown? In this episode, we talk about the radio play and its reception. Then we play the quick quiz with Jethro and Matt from the Drunkard's Walk Podcast!

RESTART NUCLEAR WEAPON ESCALATION IN THE RUSSO-UKRAINIAN WAR:  6/8:  Nuclear Folly: A History of the Cuban Missile Crisis, by Serhii Plokhy  https://www.amazon.com/Nuclear-Folly-History-Missile-Crisis/dp/0393540812/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Nearly thirty years after the end of the Cold War, today's world leaders are abandoning disarmament treaties, building up their nuclear arsenals, and exchanging threats of nuclear strikes. To survive this new atomic age, we must relearn the lessons of the most dangerous moment of the Cold War: the Cuban missile crisis. Serhii Plokhy's Nuclear Folly offers an international perspective on the crisis, tracing the tortuous decision-making that produced and then resolved it, which involved John Kennedy and his advisers, Nikita Khrushchev and Fidel Castro, and their commanders on the ground. In breathtaking detail, Plokhy vividly recounts the young JFK being played by the canny Khrushchev; the hotheaded Castro willing to defy the USSR and threatening to align himself with China; the Soviet troops on the ground clearing jungle foliage in the tropical heat, and desperately trying to conceal nuclear installations on Cuba, which were nonetheless easily spotted by U-2 spy planes; and the hair-raising near misses at sea that nearly caused a Soviet nuclear-armed submarine to fire its weapons. 1906 WAR OF THE WORLDS

Kicking off the new week with a big guest, James Corbett ( https://corbettreport.com/ ), an independent researcher, and journalist, whom I have been following for many years. Tonight I get to speak with him for the first time on Quite Frankly and the conversation is going to run the gamut from the recent election, the past (and future) of media, and more. In the second half we'll be taking calls, and looking through some of the highly advanced BlueAnon theories that have already been formulated to explain the unthinkable November 5th loss to Donald Trump.

H.G. Wells, often referred to as the “father of science fiction,” published The War of the Worlds in 1898, marking a groundbreaking moment in the genre. Born in 1866 in England, Wells was a prolific writer whose works spanned both fiction and non-fiction, often reflecting his deep interest in social issues, science, and human evolution. The War of the Worlds stands out as one of his most enduring and influential works, imagining a catastrophic alien invasion of Earth. Set in Victorian England, the novel explores the vulnerability of humankind in the face of superior extraterrestrial forces, an idea that was revolutionary for its time. Wells blended scientific ideas with thrilling narrative, vividly imagining Martian invaders wielding advanced technology like heat-rays and enormous tripods. This portrayal of a technologically superior race wreaking havoc on humanity mirrored concerns of imperialism and the unknown, while questioning the assumptions of Western dominance. The story's cultural impact is immense—most notably when Orson Welles' 1938 radio adaptation apparently caused public panic, as listeners mistook the dramatization for a real Martian invasion. Although new data seems to suggest the extent of this “panic” may have been minimal. Wells' tale remains timeless, continuing to inspire adaptations, films, and discussions on human survival and the role of science in society. In The War of the Worlds, Wells not only entertains but also offers a compelling critique of humanity's fragile position in the universe, showcasing the blend of imagination and intellect that defined his career.  — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

On the evening of October 30th, 1938, the CBS Radio Network broadcasted Orson Welles's live adaptation of the 1897 HG Wells classic, groundbreaking sci-fi novel, The War of the Worlds, all across America. And those who paid close attention knew it was fiction. But thousands and thousands of others who didn't... literally thought the US was currently being invaded and attacked by hostile, killer aliens from Mars and fellow citizens were dying in droves. They panicked and true pandemonium ensued! For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com
