Summary: I can't believe I haven't already aired this particular Old Time Radio program. What was I thinking? If there is ANY old time radio broadcast worthy of being considered of value to Survivalist/Preppers it is the Orson Welles 1938 Mercury Theater on the Air production of H.G. Wells' (no relation) novel War of the Worlds. According to many media accounts of the time this show, broadcast as though it were describing a real event, created tremendous fear throughout the country as many people believed the bulletins being aired were genuine. That right there is a lesson by itself for preppers, but the story also is capable of generating some valuable insights. Take a listen and enjoy and contemplate how people of our day would react in similar circumstances. Here is the link for the Wikipedia article about the original 1938 broadcast (and other media related to the fallout): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Worlds_%28radio_drama%29 NOTE: You may need to increase the volume after my five minute intro to better hear this 72 year old program. Just FYI... :)
