The legend is real
Orson Welles was a genius. 80 years later, the audio format still expects something that can be put next to this. While the audio quality isnt that good, it remains the best thing u can find on audible. After this, I am actually tempted to get some radio collection from Orson Welles.

Orson is a genius
Even today, this adaptation of H. G. Wells' classic novel is thoroughly exciting, gripping, and immersive
