  1. War of the Worlds - Radiolab

    This hour of Radiolab: an examination of the power of mass media to create panic.

    In our very first live hour, we take a deep dive into one of the most controversial moments in broadcasting history: Orson Welles’ 1938 radio play about Martians invading New Jersey. "The War of the Worlds" is believed to have fooled over a million people when it originally aired, and it’s continued to fool people since—from Santiago, Chile to Buffalo, New York to a particularly disastrous evening in Quito, Ecuador.

  6. The Lost Special

    How can a train disappear on an open track between two stations eight miles apart? That is the mystery at the center of the short story "The Lost Special" (first published in 1898) by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

    Escape’s version of the "The Lost Special" makes a few changes to the story, but it is a well-executed radio adaptation, originally broadcast on 30 September 1943.
