The Lodestone Catalog has just added several titles on CD from
Otherworld Media, a production company headed by David Ossman,
and Judith Walcutt (David's wife). All of these productions were
directed (and some written) by David.
-- "War of the Worlds 50th Anniversary Production" Just in time for
Halloween -- Jason Robards stars in the 50th anniversary re-telling
of the broadcast that panicked America. The present-day retelling
is broadcast as if unfolding live over public radio, and features
NPR favorites Terry Gross and Scott Simon, as well as Steve Allen,
Rene Auberjonois, Phil Proctor and more.

stars in this dramatic re-telling of the history of radio in the
20th Century. Focusing on inventor Edwin Howard Armstrong, this is
an intensely personal history of triumph and tragedy, of friendship
and betrayal, of empires gained, and lost. An absolutely gorgeous
production. Also featuring Steve Allen, John Astin, Bonnie Bedelia,
Edward Asner, and more.
