John asked me how to include the original radio War of the Worlds broadcast in his blog so that students and parents could listen to it together. This is the original broadcast from Mercury Theatre on the Air, Orson Welles's radio show from the 1930's.


Thanks to a tip from this blog, I'm using a modified version of Odeo to make this happen. It's a great tool, but it's slowing down my computer a bit since it is such a huge file. Let's see how it works.

Ok! Well, it took a few minutes to get going because it was such a big file, but seems to work beautifully. Try it, and wait patiently on the page while it loads.

Interested in doing this yourself? You'll need to find an MP3 online that you would like to use -- keeping copyright in mind, of course -- and then you can follow the directions here.
