After a year on the radio, discussing politics and Hollywood, Welles heard of a shocking crime. It was the end of World War Two.

Welles pledged to solve the mystery… on the air... Today, we’re bringing you a special episode from the Radio Diaries Podcast and their new series, Orson Welles and the Blind Soldier.

¿Sigue teniendo la música un poder de concienciación? Invertimos nuestro tiempo de radio en una figura que se ha convertido en fenómeno de internet. Jesse Welles, de 33 años, llevaba más de una década dedicado a la música con diferentes proyectos. Pero fue en 2024 cuando, con una propuesta de folk rock y canción propuesta, comenzó a hacerse viral. Procedente de una pequeña población de Arkansas, con melena desaliñada y voz rasposa, este trovador y su guitarra le cantan a las noticias de actualidad, abordando temas como el conflicto de Gaza, los abusos de poder del ICE, la problemática del fentanilo o el asesinado de un director ejecutivo de una compañía de seguros sanitarios.Desde las redes ha saltado a grandes escenarios, a programas televisivos, a conseguir cuatro nominaciones en los Grammy o a que Joan Baez colabore en uno de los 5 álbumes que ha lanzado en menos de dos años. Su estilo bebe sin tapujos de gigantes como Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs o John Prine, pasando por Neil Young, Tom Petty o John Fogerty. El tiempo dirá hasta dónde puede llegar su música.Playlist;JESSE WELLES “The poor”JESSE WELLES “War isn’t murder”JESSE WELLES “United health”JESSE WELLES “Join ICE”JESSE WELLES feat JOAN BAEZ “No kings”JESSE WELLES “War is a God”JESSE WELLES “Horses”JESSE WELLES “It don’t come easy”JESSE WELLES “Anything but me”JESSE WELLES “Certain”JESSE WELLES “Whistle boeing”JESSE WELLES “Bugs”JESSE WELLES “Life is good”JESSE WELLES “That can’t be right”JESSE WELLES “Red”Escuchar audio

Today as we're nearing Thanksgiving, we're taking a trip into radio fantasy, a 1945 broadcast of Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. We've presented several versions of this, The Lux Radio Theatre being closest to the original animated film. This one's got an interesting backstory: it was mislabeled as a 1943 Mercury Theatre production, but it's actually from This Is My Best, a CBS series hosted by Orson Welles. The episode stars Jane Powell as Snow White, with Welles doing the narration.

One of the most famous radio shows.The Mercury Theater of the Air, originally broadcast October 30, 1938, 87 years ago. A modernized adaptation of HG Wells War of the Worlds. The show was styled as a series of live news bulletins describing a Martian invasion of Earth.

The broadcast became one of the most famous moments in radio history and a defining example of the medium's power.Next, a rare recording of author HG Wells discussing the broadcast with Orson Welles from October 28, 1940, on KTSA Radio in San Antonio, Texas.

The year was 1938. Families across America gathered, listening during the golden age of radio. On the eve of Halloween, a broadcast interrupted their evening: A live report claimed Martian cylinders had landed in Grovers Mill, New Jersey. Within minutes, panic erupted as citizens fled their homes, convinced Earth was under alien attack. The entire event was fake. It was a perfectly executed radio drama by 23-year-old Orson Welles. Here's the sales lesson tucked into The War of the Worlds sci-fi scare: Welles wasn't just reading a script. He was executing a masterful lesson in emotional engagement. He had listeners hooked, buying into his story emotionally before their brains had time to register, "Wait, this can't be real." That emotional buy-in is a core tenet of sales: People buy on emotion and then justify it with logic and facts. If rational adults can flee their homes over a fictional Martian invasion, imagine the force of emotion you can unleash when you find your prospect's emotional trigger. Sharpen your emotional intelligence, and you deploy a powerful sales tool. Emotion Gets the Attention, Data Seals the Deal Welles sold tension, uncertainty, and gravity, not a product. His voice was calm yet urgent, delivered with the authority of a trusted news anchor. The audience felt an adrenaline surge—heartbeats rising, eyes widening—before they had time to check the facts. This is the non-negotiable first step in sales. Your passionate storytelling creates the emotional charge. Your tone carries more weight than any spreadsheet full of ROI data. Emotion gets your buyer leaning in and invested in the outcome. The data you provide simply helps them sleep well at night after they've already made their decision. If your message isn't landing, stop reviewing your product deck and start analyzing your delivery. Are you speaking with urgency, and are you connecting to their emotional state? Without that emotional resonance, even the best solution just adds to the noise. Authority Isn't Arrogance, It's Command Welles dressed his fictional story in familiar trappings like live news bulletins, eyewitness reports, and crackling radio static. Each detail made the unbelievable feel legitimate. He commanded belief by establishing immediate, undeniable authority. Bring that same presence to your sales interactions. Authority isn't arrogance; it's commanding belief. Sound like someone who's been there, knows the terrain, and has the solution. Communicate with unwavering authority, and you build trust before price discussions begin. This is how you sell the experience. Prospects must believe in you and your company; belief in your product comes next. They buy the experience of working with you before seeing the product. If you sound uncertain, you'll never build a foundation of trust. Stay Steady to Control the Chaos Welles predicted a strong reaction to his broadcast and stayed calm, controlled the narrative, and guided the audience through the panic he was creating. In sales, moments of crisis or uncertainty test your professionalism. When a prospect goes cold, objections arise, or a competitor attacks, do not panic. Do not mirror their anxiety—it only feeds chaos and cedes control of the deal. Control the process, control yourself, control the outcome. When deals wobble and emotions spike in your buyer, that is your moment to shine. Breathe, slow down, ask questions, and lead steadily. Be the calm voice that reassures, guides, and inspires confidence. Mastering internal composure is the essence of emotional intelligence in sales. Your Action Plan: Develop Your Sales EQ Mastering composure under pressure is a skill, not a gift. It requires commitment to developing emotional intelligence so you can use logic while others react in fear. Start a 'Rejection Journal' Drill. Stop letting rejection or setbacks paralyze you. Create a Failure Log to immediately document your feelings (frustration,

Prospects must believe in you and your company; belief in your product comes next. They buy the experience of working with you before seeing the product. If you sound uncertain, you'll never build a foundation of trust. Stay Steady to Control the Chaos Welles predicted a strong reaction to his broadcast and stayed calm, controlled the narrative, and guided the audience through the panic he was creating. In sales, moments of crisis or uncertainty test your professionalism. When a prospect goes cold, objections arise, or a competitor attacks, do not panic. Do not mirror their anxiety—it only feeds chaos and cedes control of the deal. Control the process, control yourself, control the outcome. When deals wobble and emotions spike in your buyer, that is your moment to shine. Breathe, slow down, ask questions, and lead steadily. Be the calm voice that reassures, guides, and inspires confidence. Mastering internal composure is the essence of emotional intelligence in sales. Your Action Plan: Develop Your Sales EQ Mastering composure under pressure is a skill, not a gift. It requires commitment to developing emotional intelligence so you can use logic while others react in fear. Start a 'Rejection Journal' Drill. Stop letting rejection or setbacks paralyze you. Create a Failure Log to immediately document your feelings (frustration, anger, anxiety) and behaviors (rushing calls, getting defensive). This practice builds self-awareness and helps you identify emotional triggers before they hijack your sales process. Practice the 'Mute Button' Listening Exercise. On your next call, mentally mute your urge to speak. Analyze the prospect's delivery: tone, pace, hesitation. This drill sharpens social awareness and forces you to catch subtle emotional cues—the things they won't email. This is how you truly understand their situation. Implement the 'Two-Second Pause' Rule. When a high-stakes moment occurs—a sharp objection, competitor mention, or deal crisis—pause for two seconds before speaking. This creates a cognitive buffer, shifting you from reactive to controlled. Your Story Is Your Greatest Weapon The Orson Welles broadcast is nearly a century old, yet it still teaches us today that a gripping story delivered well can move mountains. The way you connect, build trust, and influence emotion hasn't changed since radios ruled the living room. You are an broker of features and benefits. You are a storyteller, and the calm in your prospect's noisy, chaotic world. You are the guide who connects the dots between their terrifying "Martian invasion" of a problem and your ultimate solution. Embrace this role, and you move past objections and skepticism. You stop triggering defensive panic and start inspiring action. Your ability to command a room starts with your ability to command your own emotional intelligence. When the sales airwaves get noisy, keep your voice steady, your mind sharp, and your heart connected. Master your emotions, and you will close deals your competition can't. The real battlefield in sales is psychological, and if you can't master your own emotions, you will never master your prospects. Jeb Blount's book Sales EQ gives you the psychological edge to win the business your competition can't even touch.

En este episodio recordamos que hace 40 años fallecía uno de los directores y actores más personales y creativos que ha conocido el cine: Orson Welles. Os hemos preparado un reportaje sobre su carrera, su figura y la huella que ha dejado en la historia del cine. El otro gran protagonista del programa es Russell Crowe al que tenemos por partida doble. En primer lugar como la víctima del villano de nuestra sección “Esos tipos a los que nos encanta odiar” que no es otro que el Emperador Cómodo, al que Joaquin Phoenix dio vida en la película “Gladiator”. Y también le veremos como el capitán de un navío inglés del siglo XIX en la película “Master and C ommander: Al otro lado del mundo” de Peter Weir, que es el film que Jack Bourbon ha elegido esta semana en su serie de las mejores películas del cine de aventuras.

September 30, 1962, the last of the Golden Age of Radio. The Final episode of Suspense, broadcast at 7:05pm Sunday, September 30, 1962, 63 years ago, Devilstone. An Irishman goes to investigate his haunted house, with unexpected results. Christopher Carey and Neil Fitzgerald star.Followed by Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar starring Mandel Kramer, broadcast at 7:35, Sunday, September 30, 1962, 63 years ago. A convict in the state prison is about to die. He has a final "thank you" for Johnny for helping his kid brother get a start in life. There's still the matter of $100,000 from the convict's last safe robbery. (That $100K would be over $1.069 Million today!) Ironically, the gas station kid knew who Johnny Dollar was, but it didn't matter, as CBS ended the show anyway. Finally, Orson Welles Commentary, broadcast September 30, 1945, 80 years ago. The aircheck from KECA Radio (Now KABC) gave listeners a look at what radio would become - a medium of primarily news and commentary. The broadcast originates from Orson's home in Brentwood. Eddie Cantor introduced a new cast member on his show (Thelma Carpenter) without mentioning that she's colored. What did Eisenhower say to General Patton? We'll never know for sure. Many Roosevelt staffers are leaving the Truman administration. The main British problem is getting enough to eat. Orson answers a critic in Weehawken, New Jersey. He then tells the story of, "Bonito," the fighting bull. It's a great story, told beautifully by Orson. No doubt, Welles was as good at commentary as he was at acting.

De “La insoportable levedad del ser” de Milan Kundera a "la insoportable levedad del mal” que Hannah Arend acuñó a propósito del mediático juicio a Eichmann (1961) nazi que participó en la “solución final", para llegar a “Touch of Evil” ("Sed de Mal”) -1958- de Orson Welles. Todo empieza por un mítico plano secuencia de 3´ 20” y acaba con Marlene Dietrich echando las cartas al villano que interpreta Welles: "tu futuro no existe". Un policía atípico, un irreal villano, un santo bebedor en una pieza. Un mundo en el que el bien y el mal se confunden y su banalidad, ayer como hoy, todo lo iguala.

Kate revisits her 2020 interview with Alison Crowther, mother of Welles Crowther—the young man remembered as The Man in the Red Bandana. Welles, 24, was a rookie equities trader at Sandler O'Neil from Upper Nyack, N.Y., who died in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. In the South Tower, he tied a red bandana across his face as protection and became a rescuer, guiding people down stairwells and returning again and again to help others. He is credited with saving at least 18 lives before perishing alongside New York City firefighters when the tower collapsed. His story has been told in several documentaries, including The Man in the Red Bandana (ESPN) and Man in Red Bandana (Amazon Prime), but his legacy lives on most powerfully through the voices of those he saved—and through his mother, Alison.

In the face of death, most would run. It's human nature to flee, to cling to life. But on September 11, 2001, amidst the chaos of the crumbling South Tower, Welles Remy Crowther did the unthinkable as smoke choked the air, flames licked his skin, and the ground shook beneath him: he repeatedly charged back into the inferno to save others. Fueled by a force fear can't touch, Welles guided the lost, comforted the wounded, and led the terrified to safety. Every step could have been his last, and he knew this. Yet Welles never wavered. NEVER. And in those impossible moments, he saved 18 lives. The man who faced death without flinching, who stood as a beacon of courage and selflessness in the darkest of times, was indeed The Man in the Red Bandana.

⸻ Podcast: Redefining Society and Technologyhttps://redefiningsocietyandtechnologypodcast.com _____________________________This Episode's SponsorsBlackCloak provides concierge cybersecurity protection to corporate executives and high-net-worth individuals to protect against hacking, reputational loss, financial loss, and the impacts of a corporate data breach.BlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcweb_____________________________A Musing On Society & Technology Newsletter Written By Marco Ciappelli | Read by TAPE3August 18, 2025The Narrative Attack Paradox: When Cybersecurity Lost the Ability to Detect Its Own Deception and the Humanity We Risk When Truth Becomes OptionalReflections from Black Hat USA 2025 on Deception, Disinformation, and the Marketing That Chose Fiction Over FactsBy Marco CiappelliSean Martin, CISSP just published his analysis of Black Hat USA 2025, documenting what he calls the cybersecurity vendor "echo chamber." Reviewing over 60 vendor announcements, Sean found identical phrases echoing repeatedly: "AI-powered," "integrated," "reduce analyst burden." The sameness forces buyers to sift through near-identical claims to find genuine differentiation.This reveals more than a marketing problem—it suggests that different technologies are being fed into the same promotional blender, possibly a generative AI one, producing standardized output regardless of what went in. When an entire industry converges on identical language to describe supposedly different technologies, meaningful technical discourse breaks down.But Sean's most troubling observation wasn't about marketing copy—it was about competence. When CISOs probe vendor claims about AI capabilities, they encounter vendors who cannot adequately explain their own technologies. When conversations moved beyond marketing promises to technical specifics, answers became vague, filled with buzzwords about proprietary algorithms.Reading Sean's analysis while reflecting on my own Black Hat experience, I realized we had witnessed something unprecedented: an entire industry losing the ability to distinguish between authentic capability and generated narrative—precisely as that same industry was studying external "narrative attacks" as an emerging threat vector.The irony was impossible to ignore. Black Hat 2025 sessions warned about AI-generated deepfakes targeting executives, social engineering attacks using scraped LinkedIn profiles, and synthetic audio calls designed to trick financial institutions. Security researchers documented how adversaries craft sophisticated deceptions using publicly available content. Meanwhile, our own exhibition halls featured countless unverifiable claims about AI capabilities that even the vendors themselves couldn't adequately explain.But to understand what we witnessed, we need to examine the very concept that cybersecurity professionals were discussing as an external threat: narrative attacks. These represent a fundamental shift in how adversaries target human decision-making. Unlike traditional cyberattacks that exploit technical vulnerabilities, narrative attacks exploit psychological vulnerabilities in human cognition. Think of them as social engineering and propaganda supercharged by AI—personalized deception at scale that adapts faster than human defenders can respond. They flood information environments with false content designed to manipulate perception and erode trust, rendering rational decision-making impossible.What makes these attacks particularly dangerous in the AI era is scale and personalization. AI enables automated generation of targeted content tailored to individual psychological profiles. A single adversary can launch thousands of simultaneous campaigns, each crafted to exploit specific cognitive biases of particular groups or individuals.But here's what we may have missed during Black Hat 2025: the same technological forces enabling external narrative attacks have already compromised our internal capacity for truth evaluation. When vendors use AI-optimized language to describe AI capabilities, when marketing departments deploy algorithmic content generation to sell algorithmic solutions, when companies building detection systems can't detect the artificial nature of their own communications, we've entered a recursive information crisis.From a sociological perspective, we're witnessing the breakdown of social infrastructure required for collective knowledge production. Industries like cybersecurity have historically served as early warning systems for technological threats—canaries in the coal mine with enough technical sophistication to spot emerging dangers before they affect broader society.But when the canary becomes unable to distinguish between fresh air and poison gas, the entire mine is at risk.This brings us to something the literary world understood long before we built our first algorithm. Jorge Luis Borges, the Argentine writer, anticipated this crisis in his 1940s stories like "On Exactitude in Science" and "The Library of Babel"—tales about maps that become more real than the territories they represent and libraries containing infinite books, including false ones. In his fiction, simulations and descriptions eventually replace the reality they were meant to describe.We're living in a Borgesian nightmare where marketing descriptions of AI capabilities have become more influential than actual AI capabilities. When a vendor's promotional language about their AI becomes more convincing than a technical demonstration, when buyers make decisions based on algorithmic marketing copy rather than empirical evidence, we've entered that literary territory where the map has consumed the landscape. And we've lost the ability to distinguish between them.The historical precedent is the 1938 War of the Worlds broadcast, which created mass hysteria from fiction. But here's the crucial difference: Welles was human, the script was human-written, the performance required conscious participation, and the deception was traceable to human intent. Listeners had to actively choose to believe what they heard.Today's AI-generated narratives operate below the threshold of conscious recognition. They require no active participation—they work by seamlessly integrating into information environments in ways that make detection impossible even for experts. When algorithms generate technical claims that sound authentic to human evaluators, when the same systems create both legitimate documentation and marketing fiction, we face deception at a level Welles never imagined: the algorithmic manipulation of truth itself.The recursive nature of this problem reveals itself when you try to solve it. This creates a nearly impossible situation. How do you fact-check AI-generated claims about AI using AI-powered tools? How do you verify technical documentation when the same systems create both authentic docs and marketing copy? When the tools generating problems and solving problems converge into identical technological artifacts, conventional verification approaches break down completely.My first Black Hat article explored how we risk losing human agency by delegating decision-making to artificial agents. But this goes deeper: we risk losing human agency in the construction of reality itself. When machines generate narratives about what machines can do, truth becomes algorithmically determined rather than empirically discovered.Marshall McLuhan famously said "We shape our tools, and thereafter they shape us." But he couldn't have imagined tools that reshape our perception of reality itself. We haven't just built machines that give us answers—we've built machines that decide what questions we should ask and how we should evaluate the answers.But the implications extend far beyond cybersecurity itself. This matters far beyond. If the sector responsible for detecting digital deception becomes the first victim of algorithmic narrative pollution, what hope do other industries have? Healthcare systems relying on AI diagnostics they can't explain. Financial institutions using algorithmic trading based on analyses they can't verify. Educational systems teaching AI-generated content whose origins remain opaque.When the industry that guards against deception loses the ability to distinguish authentic capability from algorithmic fiction, society loses its early warning system for the moment when machines take over truth construction itself.So where does this leave us? That moment may have already arrived. We just don't know it yet—and increasingly, we lack the cognitive infrastructure to find out.But here's what we can still do: We can start by acknowledging we've reached this threshold. We can demand transparency not just in AI algorithms, but in the human processes that evaluate and implement them. We can rebuild evaluation criteria that distinguish between technical capability and marketing narrative.And here's a direct challenge to the marketing and branding professionals reading this: it's time to stop relying on AI algorithms and data optimization to craft your messages. The cybersecurity industry's crisis should serve as a warning—when marketing becomes indistinguishable from algorithmic fiction, everyone loses. Social media has taught us that the most respected brands are those that choose honesty over hype, transparency over clever messaging. Brands that walk the walk and talk the talk, not those that let machines do the talking.The companies that will survive this epistemological crisis are those whose marketing teams become champions of truth rather than architects of confusion. When your audience can no longer distinguish between human insight and machine-generated claims, authentic communication becomes your competitive advantage.Most importantly, we can remember that the goal was never to build machines that think for us, but machines that help us think better.The canary may be struggling to breathe, but it's still singing. The question is whether we're still listening—and whether we remember what fresh air feels like.Let's keep exploring what it means to be human in this Hybrid Analog Digital Society. Especially now, when the stakes have never been higher, and the consequences of forgetting have never been more real.
