Orson Welles, The War of the Worlds, 1938

This audio clip gives the impression that it is some kind of radio announcement. It is made known in the audio clip that it is Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater speaking over The War of the Worlds by H.G. Welles. Since it is being told over the radio it adds to the feeling that it is supposed to be some important radio announcement. This piece makes it feel as all of the 'updates and breaking news announcements' are actually happening because it's being played over the radio. I believe the narrators are trying to accomplish this feelling.
