I just discovered this radio aircheck gem. It is a War of the Worlds-style Halloween drama produced on an easy listening radio station in Peoria, Illinois in 1972. It revolves around a plague that is turning people into flesh-eating ghouls, like in Night of the Living Dead. It uses the actually news staff as in roles. I can't find any online articles about the reaction in Peoria to this. It is kind of unnerving.
A kinder, gentler version of the old blog. This will take a fun look at pop culture, because nothing upsets Ozarkers more than fun and pop culture. Mwu-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
