Radiolab for October 27, 2012
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "War of the Worlds"
An examination of the power of mass media to create panic. In a live hour, we take a deep dive into one of the most controversial moments in broadcasting history: Orson Welles' 1938 radio play about Martians invading New Jersey. "The War of the Worlds" is believed to have fooled over a million people when it originally aired, and it's continued to fool people since...from Santiago, Chile to Buffalo, New York to a particularly disastrous evening in Quito, Ecuador
Radiolab is a show about curiosity. Where sound illuminates ideas, and the boundaries blur between science, philosophy, and human experience.
