Out of Nowhere - Season 2 Episode 2

What if you heard that Martians were invading the world? Within hours New York City was gone, death and devastation coming across the radio airways. And that still wasn't the biggest story of the week? When the 23 year-old phenom Orson Welles broadcast across the radio airways his adaptation of War of the Worlds - many feared for their lives, and the entire newspaper industry aimed to end his career.  It didn’t look good. Then, EVERYTHING changed in a minute. What took the headlines away from Welles and quite possibly saved not only his program, but his entire profession?  Top Fold is dedicated to, "All the news that would have been". What does that mean? That means that on 9/11, or when the Hindenburg exploded, or Elvis Presley died, headlines were replaced and stories fell below the fold.What event happened that was huge but wasn’t talked about because something else monumental took the headlines? The -name of the podcast comes from a combination of "TOP Story" and "Above the FOLD"-TOP FOLD.Original music by David "Beezer" Wagler.Sources for S2 Ep 2  Out of Nowherehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orson_Welles_filmographyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orson_Welleshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Bergenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliocentrism#Copernican_heliocentrismhttps://faculty.virginia.edu/rwoclass/astr121/mars-in-popular-culture.htmlhttps://shepherdexpress.com/news/milwaukee-history/milwaukee-didnt-panic-over-orson-welles/#/questions http://www.jimramsburg.com/the-1938-39-season.htmlhttp://tbgreats.com/seabiscuit/rr.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Admiralhttps://www.britannica.com/topic/Seabiscuithttps://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/nov/01/seabiscuit-war-admiral-horse-race-1938-pimlicohttps://www.americasbestracing.net/the-sport/2016-seabiscuit-true-rags-riches-storyhttps://www.liveabout.com/seabiscuit-vs-war-admiral-3862278http://tbgreats.com/seabiscuit/rr.html https://www.awesomestories.com/asset/view/SANTA-ANITA-HANDICAP-Seabiscuit
