Radio Lab: War of the Worlds November 10, 2008

In its November 4, 2008 broadcast, and in honor of the 70th anniversary of the classic Orson Welles radio play about martians invading New Jersey, Radio Lab asks: why did people believe it was really happening? And why has this stunt continued to fool people since? From Santiago, Chile to Buffalo, New York to a particularly disastrous evening in Quito, Ecuador.

NOTE: This is a rebroadcast of the Season 4 War of the Worlds episode, taped live at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul.

From the publisher: October 2009 - Made It

Welcome to Lit Between the Ears and Two Plus Plus Productions LLC.

On October 1, 2009, we uploaded the last story of MAYONNAISE IN MY CAKE AND OTHER HOLIDAY DELIGHTS. Our goal - publish the second anthology from Two Plus Plus Productions LLC - was as complete as a crashed hard drive would make it.

We are re-engineering files from the PDFs published at Scribd. We hope to have a single file, an anthology rather than eight seperate files, as quickly as possible. If you're in the area, stop by: http://www.scribd.com/Two%20Plus%20Plus%20Productions%20LLC

The five plays in the anthology - It Suits Her, Splendor in Midland, Swing for the Fences, Celebrating Johnny Parks, and The Table - are in rehearsals for performances in November. Stay tuned for details.

We are also tweeting and the results have ranged from positive to breathtaking. When combined with Lit Between the Ears and the scripts published at Scribd, twitter has been like bursts of rocket fuel. We can be followed at: http://twitter.com/WilliamESpear

Plus, the year's not over yet. Maybe there is more to come.

Believe, Simply Believe

Regards,

William E. Spear
