Publisher's Summary

If you are a lover of old-time radio and a fan of Orson Welles, you won't want to miss this treasure chest of legendary Orson Welles radio broadcasts! With his flair for the sensational and innovative, Welles captured audiences' attention with his 1930s CBS weekly drama series The Mercury Theatre on the Air, later renamed The Campbell Playhouse, which featured hour-long dramatizations of classic books. His 1938 production, The War of the Worlds (an H. G. Wells adaptation) was especially memorable, as were many other productions, each featuring talented voices and actors.

Orson Welles incredible voice

This is not some remastered collection. It’s the original radio collection with static and all. Still, the disturbances are minimal.

Also, there is no catalogue and chapters are not numbered and titled. If you visit audible.com page of the same book, you can get the listing,

The collection is massive and it will keep you hooked for many days. You should especially listen to war of the worlds (6th chapter from the bottom) which is like peak Welles. But other stories and dramas are amazing too.
