Any idea what day it is today (other than Monday, October 30, 2017)?
It’s World Audio Drama Day!!
What is World Audio Drama Day, you ask?
It is an annual holiday that takes place on October 30th of every year. It’s a day to listen to your favorite audio drama(s), new and old, and share this beautiful medium with others who may not know about it. The 30th of October was selected for this holiday as it is the anniversary of the most well-known radio program of all time, Orson Welles’ broadcast, War of the Worlds, first aired in 1938.
