What Made it Believable:
Many attempts were made to make the broadcast seem realistic. One was the use of actually radio news segments as well as commercials to trick the listener to think that they are actually hearing the news. The broadcast of the piano concert being interrupted by an emergency broadcast was very believable and could easily trick the listener into believing they were hearing a real news broadcast.

First 40 minutes vs. last 20 minutes:
The first and the majority of the broadcast was a news type one. Wells had actors posing as military generals, scientists, eye-witnesses and reporters. These people were testing to the events that were supposedly transpiring in real time and even had some reporters present when the alien being first came out of a downed ship. The reporters and any witnesses around the site were supposedly killed by a heat ray of sorts.

The last 20 minutes were a single survivor wandering through the northeast looking in amazement at the destruction caused by the invaders. This segment is much less believable since it is the person's thoughts rather than a newscast.

Was the disclaimer at the end sufficient?:
Not really, by the time Wells used the disclaimer, it was probably too late and people were too bys preparing for the end of the world rather than listening to the radio. However, it w as very clear and if one happened to be by a radio with it playing they would have realized it was such a play.

Out of the 8630 songs in my music library, the vast majority fall under various sub-genres of metal, consisting of about 6600 songs. The other genres present are ambient shoe-gaze, rock, 80s pop small traces of rap.
About 2000 of these songs were obtained legally by the purchase of the physical CD. Sources of purchase were eBay, Amazon, or CD stores such as Vintage Vinyl, CD World, and Best Buy. The total cost of these songs comes to an estimated $2830 according to the textbook.
The remainder of the songs were obtained via file-sharing through an undisclosed method. This is not because I refuse to pay for music. I enjoy very much having the artwork and actual CD; but more out of availability and cost. Almost all of these albums are from over seas vendors as they are not available in the United States. Not only does this make finding them exceptionally hard, but they also can cost up to 4 times the price of a similar CD purchased here. Often, one would have to pay to a potentially unreliable source and can lose a good amount of money. Anything else is OOP (out of print) and almost impossible to find.
