Happy Halloween!!! Just like Christmas, it seems like the decorations come out earlier and earlier each year. Well, the same holds true here as we pull out a Halloween broadcast mid-month.
When Steve & Garry moved to WLUP-AM 1000 they began doing a lot of radio theater. Mother truckers with Squinty & Lyle, The Cornbores Saga and various other radio dramas like A Christmas Carol and The War of the Worlds (Yes, we have audio of all of these).
Here is over an hour of a Steve & Garry show broadcast on October 31, 1988. This includes the broadcast recreation of the 1898 H.G. Wells science fiction novel The War of the Worlds. The War of the Worlds radio drama was first broadcast on the CBS radio network in 1938.
As with most radio dramas done by S&G, they are always a work in progress. Stops and starts. Improvements and corrections. I think that is one of the things that made these features so great.
Our cast of characters include:
Steve Dahl
Garry Maier
Cliff
Tommy Skillethead
Paul Garry
Paul Steve
Anthony
This segment will be split into two posts with two parts per post. Because this was recorded from an AM radio signal, there are tendencies toward signal fade and audio dropouts.
