  • Summary

  • Chapter One of Edy Hurst's Comedy Version of the War of the Worlds, an audio-scrap-book into the seminal scifi novel The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells.

    In this, our inaugural episode, Edy Hurst ('bursts with comedic joy' The Skinny) reads chapter one, introducing us to our narrator, Ogilvy astronomer, and his hobbies of riding a bike and writing philosophical essays on human morality, in that order.

    There's also deep dives into the indigenous people of Tasmania following a flippant comment by Wells, a song about Lemurs and Monkeys, and a quite frankly brooding score.
