"A brand new one from Stearns & Price. Personally, I think "Dialogue With Martian Trombone" is their best ever. David Ossman and Phil Proctor simply shine, their brilliance illuminates every nook and Martian cranny."
- Tom Lopez, ZBS
"For anyone who fell under the spell of the orignal War of the Worlds this broadcast is a real treat. (I wore the record out, so I'm a real sucker for it.) It was good enough that if I heard it while driving, it would keep me in the car until it was over. A great idea within a great idea."
-
by Patrick McLean, AIR Review Board.
"There's an interesting time-warp thing going on in this piece - a new radio drama inspired by the sixty year old radio classic "War of the Worlds" written and performed in a style popularized by Firesign Theater some thirty years ago. "
- David Swatling, AIR Editorial Board

Dialogue with Martian Trombone - by Brian Price and Jerry Stearns (34:01)
The Ramon Raquello Orchestra was supposed to get their big break that night in 1938, on Orson Welles Mercury Theater show, but they kept getting cut off. We join them many years later, at a reunion of the band, and it seems that they can't seem to escape the influence of the Martians.

High Moon - by Jerry Stearns (12:55)
The hungry young punk calls out the Old Pro for a showdown on the hot dusty streets. But the old-timer has a few ideas of his own about how this ought to go down.  It ain't the first time he's heard that challenge - "Magic! At fifty meters!" And he plans for it not to be his last.
"Philip K Dick, Ray Bradbury and Douglas Adams have fans in Jerry Stearns, Brian Price, and this lively contingent of audio theaterites. It's a live on-stage romp."
- Bill Palladino, former KFAI manager.

Wizard Jack - by Brian Price (19:05)
He's a stupid old wizard, but he means well. And when he shows "Bill" that he can fill a bottle with tomorrows, well that just doesn't sit right, and "Bill" wants to buy them all. But old and true friends turn out again to be more important than just about anything, no matter how good your magic is.
