This Week in Radio News: The Blimp (Audio)
Oct 31, 2015
Produced by Tom Roe.
A military surveillance blimp comes unmoored in Maryland, and floats for three hours over Pennslyvania wreaking havoc as it goes. That sounds like the script of some Orson Welles radio drama, but it was real-life this week. This show listens in to reports about blimp sightings, and then hears archival audio of the Hindenburg disaster in 1937. Also, tune in radio headlines:
FCC plans to save AM radio with FM;
'Roadrunner' for Massachusetts state song again;
Court dismisses Wikimedia suit against NSA;
Senate votes for CISA;
IRS bought Stingrays for surveillance;
Plus, the show tunes in an excerpt of Kate Donovan and Davidly's new adaptation of Richard Foreman's "Film is Evil: Radio is Good."
