The Mercury Theatre was a theatre company founded in New York City in 1937 by Orson Welles and John Houseman. After a string of live theatrical productions, in 1938 the Mercury Theatre progressed into their best-known period as The Mercury Theatre on the Air, a radio series that included one of the most notable and infamous radio broadcasts of all time, The War of the Worlds, broadcast on October 30, 1938. The Mercury Theatre on the Air produced live radio dramas in 1938-1940 and again briefly in 1946.

Dishonesty (and you'll find enough of that here in the Old Time Radio section) is trying to attach any license to materials you don't own. That's called copyfraud.
These materials belong to the public wherever you find them. That's honest.
Reviewer:Shadows_Girl - - July 29, 2009 Subject: Another rip off of The Mercury Theater Website Kim Scarborough has kept these shows available on-line for ten years through server failures and all kinds of hassles and deserves credit instead of which people are raiding Kim's site and uploading the files here as though they were their own.
I find that dishonest. Fans of Orson owe Kim one hell of a lot and I want that made clear here.
