von
WKBW’s War of the Worlds is a radio adaptation of H. G. Wells’s science-fiction story, presented as a broadcast-style account of an apparent Martian invasion. The format draws on the unsettling immediacy of radio news, using reports and announcements to make extraordinary events sound as though they are unfolding in real time.
This item is identified as Segment 22 and includes a 60-second Turgeon commercial. The commercial is part of the recording’s broadcast material, alongside the program segment.
The result offers a distinctive blend of dramatic storytelling and period radio advertising, with the familiar tension of an invasion narrative framed in the urgent language of a live broadcast.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
