‘American Routes’ Radio – Two hour shows, each with a playlist

October 28, 1998 - http://americanroutes.publicradio.org/archives/show/501/halloween
That old black magic's got you under its spell in our show honoring All Saints Tricks and treats from blues goblins, country werewolves, and those who've purportedly sold their souls (but not their Soul) for their art.

October 25, 2000 - http://americanroutes.publicradio.org/archives/show/409/vampires
Find out why New Orleans is the vampire capital of North America. Lots of frightening music and special guests: authors Andrei Codrescu and Anne Rice, just in time for the Hallows.

October 24, 2007 - http://americanroutes.publicradio.org/archives/show/43/saints-spirits
Explore the spiritual realm of New Orleans and South Louisiana through words and music on this weekend of All Souls' and All Saints'. Our very own Ninth Ward R&B buddha, Fats Domino, drops by and unveils his personal spirituality. Visit the tomb of Voodoo queen Marie Laveau with author, anthropologist and believer Martha Ward. Plus, Creole artist, musician and traiteur Dennis Paul Williams discusses the mystical power of the zydeco and his own healing practices. And Meter man Charles Neville runs the old-school, uptown Voodoo down.

'War of the Worlds' Radio Broadcast

Many public radio stations and some commercial broadcast stations will air Orson Welle’s “War of The Worlds” radio broadcast from October 30, 1938. The radio play adaptation was taken from H.G. Well’s book of the same name. The original radio broadcast caused quite a stir as people tuned in and thought the events were really taking place!

About the radio broadcast - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Worlds_(radio)
About the book - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Worlds

Also look and listen out for localized versions of “War of the Worlds” to be staged and broadcast as well. List your station and listen link here. You may even be able to sit in an audience for the staged play!
