Orson Welles incredible voice

This is not some remastered collection. It’s the original radio collection with static and all. Still, the disturbances are minimal.

Also, there is no catalogue and chapters are not numbered and titled. If you visit audible.com page of the same book, you can get the listing,

The collection is massive and it will keep you hooked for many days. You should especially listen to war of the worlds (6th chapter from the bottom) which is like peak Welles. But other stories and dramas are amazing too.
