Listening to a treat tonight on CFZM 740 am, rebroadcasting The War Of The Worlds

Its fun to hear it the way listeners experienced it in 1938 via AM radio. I had an lp record of it and as a kid loved to listen to it. We all have heard the stories about how people believed it was really happening causing panic all over the broadcast area.
