The Peter Boyles Show June 13, 2026 HOUR 1 : What happens when a lifelong radio fanatic pays tribute to one of the most famous broadcasts in history? In this episode, Peter Boyles dives deep into the legendary 1938 War of the Worlds broadcast by Orson Welles and explains how it inspired his own unforgettable April Fools’ Day radio stunt that convinced listeners KNUS had undergone a complete Spanish-language takeover. The result? Confusion, laughter, outrage—and even a visit from law enforcement. 

Peter shares behind-the-scenes stories from the 2015 broadcast, reunites with members of the cast who helped pull it off, and reflects on the unique chemistry that made the show such a success. It’s a fascinating look at radio history, storytelling, and the power of imagination over the airwaves.

Before that, columnist and commentator Jimmy Sengenberger joins the program to discuss Colorado politics, including questions surrounding congressional candidate Wanda James, her business record, and comparisons being made to gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx. The conversation explores campaign narratives, political branding, and the importance of scrutiny regardless of party affiliation.
