We promise this blog is not "All Welles All the Time." But there's a wonderful new documentary about Welles' life in radio that just hit the air. Filmmaker and author R.G. Greene has produced the definitive piece on how the young actor/writer/producer dominated the medium. Ttitled "Airborne," it debuted over the weekend (listen to it here) on KPCC Radio's On Ramp, replete with nice bits of 30's and 40's radio, from "War of the Worlds" to Welles on The Jack Benny Show. But this is more than just a fawning homage. Greene gives you Welles warts and all.
