It's Orson Wells' birthday (May 6, 1919) so we are reaching into the vault, all the way back to episode 2!

Did a radio show purposely create a nationwide panic, sending people into the streets and mothers with shotguns into bathtubs? Or were newspapers just blowing it all out of proportion because they were jealous of the newest form of media, radio?

What happens when you apologize for other people’s reactions to something you didn’t realize you were doing? How sorry can you be if you know you are going to be F A M O U S?

And our new favorite part of the show, the AI overlord's episode summary:

In this compelling episode of 'Apologies Accepted', hosts Theo and Juliette dive into one of history's most renowned media apologies - that of Orson Welles for the widespread panic induced by his 1938 "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast. The episode offers (a) an entertaining blend of comedy, historical narratives, personal story-telling, and insightful discourse on public apologies, as well as stimulating insights into the life of Orson Welles and the innovative storytelling that put audiences in a state of apocalyptic dread.

Listeners will be taken on an illuminating journey, from the notable relevance of "War of the Worlds" to the current political landscape, to a discussion on the role of politics and the threat of World War II in influencing audiences' reactions. Theo and Juliette also delve into the genius of H.G. Wells, honing in on his futuristic predictions years ahead of his time, and how this added layer enhances the allure of the radio broadcast.

The episode further delves into the underlying theme of fear subtly evoked in the audience and the power of mass media in shaping public outlook, while also questioning the authenticity of Welles' apology. Intertwined with fascinating reflections and light-hearted conversations, Theo and Juliette offer an engaging and enriching experience for those interested in historical narratives, media effects and dynamics, and the intriguing realm of public apologies.
