It's the Old-Time Radio Essentials Season Two opener and PANDEMIC SPECIAL! Pete, Paul and Dave bring you "The Peoria Plague", a one-shot, independently produced radio drama, made in 1972 in Peoria, Illinois. Famous now for its depiction of a quickly spreading plague, told through live "news" reports (paralleling "The War of the Worlds"), this show seems to have had no impact on the people of its time.
