War of the Worlds

[greatbear]

With the new movie coming out, I can't help but remember how good the original radio broadcast was, especially given the time it was originally aired. I had a cassette of the broadcast for umpteen years, but it has since gone AWOL. So imagine my geeky happiness at finding the entire original broadcast linked from a forum thread. I decided that it's too good to keep to myself, and decided to share. Leeching of university bandwidth be damned, I present to you Orson Welles' War Of The Worlds. (56 megabyte .mp3 file)

I've got it on vinyl if you can believe that. It's in a frame hanging on a wall.
