About this listen

With his flair for the sensational and innovative, Welles captured audiences' attention with his 1930s CBS weekly drama series The Mercury Theatre on the Air, later renamed The Campbell Playhouse, which featured hour-long dramatizations of classic books. His 1938 production, The War of the Worlds (an H. G. Wells adaptation) was especially memorable, as were many other productions, each featuring talented voices and actors.

Dreadful sound quality
Yes I know it's a very old radio programme but you should be able to make out the words.
Lasted about 10 minutes.

GREAT OLD TIME 1930’s Orson Welles
Spoilt for choice in this bumper packed 60 hour Full Ultimate Collection of Welles radio work, which started in the USA in the 1930’s. With old broads like Hedda Hopper, there is bitching aplenty the way only the Americans know how. This is a wide range of work from thrillers to comedies and plenty for everyone. On some of these shows the sound is not too great and advise using some headphones. Could have done with having titles included but seeing as there are none, you have no idea what you are listening to until Orson introduces the shows and says which actors are playing.
Still a great bargain for only one credit and will keep me happy for a long time.
