In Radio Lab's very first live hour, they take a deep dive into one of the most controversial moments in broadcasting history - Orson Welles' 1938 radio play about Martians invading New Jersey.
Why did it fool people then? And why has it continued to fool people since? From Chile to Buffalo, New York to a particularly disastrous evening in Quito, Ecuador. An examination of the power of mass media to create panic.
L.A. Theatre Works Saturday at 10pm brings an hour-long performance of the play.
