Orson Welles was a genius - as an actor, a film director - and as the creator of drama for radio, the legendary Mercury Theatre on the Air, which presented so many great classics besides the justly famous War of the Worlds. It is also very entertaining to hear Welles with other stars from the 1930s and 40s in various other radio shows - a time travel to legendary "Radio Days".
