A special encore presentation of the radio play "Shadow Over Long Island" written by Emmanuel back in 1985. Some history of the broadcast, some of the premiums being offered during tonight's special fundraiser, Dave Klein joins in to discuss the program, how the evacuation scene was recorded, how a real evacuation would have worked, Long Island was originally supposed to have three nuclear power plants, the history of the controversy, how news has changed over the years, some of the other marathon programming taking place on WUSB, Mary Anne Devine stops by with recollections of the original broadcast, the station is getting calls from people who think this is a real event, remembering some of the people involved, Emmanuel takes issue with people who say this kind of broadcast shouldn't air "in this day and age," how Emmanuel once got a tour of the inside of the Shoreham nuclear plant. This show includes fundraising.
