The Glowing Dial - Show # NET03

This is our War Of The Worlds 65th Anniversary show. You'll see below that we have a good selection of material to listen to from the original Mercury Theatre version to the excellent updated version done by the staff of WKBW radio in Buffalo, NY plus some nice extras thrown in for good measure such as the time Orson Welles met his idol H.G. Wells. We end the show with our own little tongue-in-cheek homage to Orson and company starring myself, Steve "Archive" Urbaniak and my good friend Greg Barker as the doomed announcer. We probably won't win any awards for our performances but we had fun doing it. It was my first shot at multi-track editing with Adobe Audition. At one point, I had 13 separate tracks going at once! Enjoy and keep watching the skies.
