    I still get chills listening to it.

    I do so love the original broadcast, played to me by my grandfather when I was 5 off an old 8 track he had gotten from America. It got me interested in radio and the power of what it can do to your mind and the images you can hear. Thanks Dan for this – I hadn’t seen this particular interview with Orson before. Happy belated Halloween to all of us in radio.
