90.3 KRNU

10/30/2024

On this date in 1938, Orson Welles and his merry band of audio producers and performers caught the country off-guard with their "as it's happening" night before Halloween adaptation of "The War Of The Worlds." Historians would later dispute just how frenzied the audience reaction was at the time, but the broadcast certainly got attention, far exceeding Welles and his crew's expectations. Thanks to good buddy Charlyne Berens for the link here.

“The War of the Worlds”—Orson Welles's hyper‑realistic radio dramatization of a Martian invasion of Earth—is broadcast on the radio, causing panic among some.

Really nice profile of UNL College of Journalism and Mass Communications UNL Broadcasting grad D-Wayne. Along with everything else he does, he has been a dedicated Professional in Residence for our CoJMC Experience Lab, working every week with students interested in 90.3 KRNU. My only question is when he sleeps...

This week will be DeWayne Taylor's third College World Series. It's an opportunity that came about organically. It was all word of mouth, and that's what makes it all so hard for him to believe.
