Hello folks, This week is packed quite full on XM Radio Classics (Channel 164) - as we mark the birthday of one of radios (and film for that matter) most important fellas. Orson Welles was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin on May 6th, 1915 full-name George Orson Welles. So as we do every year, we play quite a bit to honor him. Two separate, two hour specials are airing this week; the one that begins Monday - at Noon ET and again at 8pm ET features Welles in The Campbell Playhouse version of Hurricane and a Lux Radio adaptation of Break of Hearts featuring Welles alongside then wife, Rita Hayworth. At the end of those two hours, I replay the one and only meeting between Orson Welles and War of the Worlds author H.G. Wells. The second special which begins on Tuesday at Noon ET and again at 8pm ET with back to back Shadow episodes starring Welles; then he host The Black Museum and plays Harry Lime in a radio version of The Third Man. To mark Mother's Day - I'm playing a Mom themed episode of Father Knows Best and The Life of Riley and then tossing in evil mother-son relationship story on Suspense. Best time to catch that one is a couple of times on Thursday(May 8th) at 6am ET and again at 10pm ET.
