Event Description:
"The live radio broadcast is the story of a Martian invasion of Earth," . "When it originally aired in 1938, Orson Welles and his Mercury Theatre company were so convincing in their performances that listeners throughout the U.S. thought the broadcast was a terrifying live event. I’m calling “The War of the Worlds,” the first ‘fake news’ event predating social media.”
