2SER - War of the Worlds 75th Anniversary Podcast

It wasn't quite the mass panic caused by the original War of the Worlds broadcast 75 years ago, but some Sydney-siders found themselves looking anxiously skywards tonight as 2SER recreated the historic War of the Worlds broadcast, with a modern twist.

2SER paid homage to the iconic Orson Welles broadcast, and the original novel by H G Wells in a modern adaption of the story, which saw Martians landing in Australia and 2SER reporters updating us about the struggle.

War of the Worlds 2013 was adapted by Roderick Chambers and Anthony Dockrill from the original novel and broadcast and produced by Anthony Dockrill for 2SER.

The 2SER - War of the Worlds 75th Anniversary Podcast is available here.

Dirt Music

A quick scan of his past interviewees is enough to convince anyone Stuart Coupe is something of a bona-fide Australian music legend – never mind a career also spent managing record labels and some of the household names in Australian music. While the Sydney-based Coupe finds himself at FBi to present Tune Up each Tuesday, on Saturdays he’s at 2SER for Dirt Music which covers the history of roots, country, Americana and blues. It is one of the more recent additions to the Community Radio Network schedule, increasing the audience of someone who has been talking and living the music biz for some decades.
