I intend to listen to it some day, but haven't yet. (I missed the 50th anniversary broadcast because I had a prior commitment with friends. That was a lot of fun, and I don't regret it in the least. Most of the time.)
I have heard the 1994 remake with Leonard Nimoy in the lead, which was on the radio just recently. This is in no way a consolation. (Oddly, of all the things that didn't work about the 1994 production for me the worst was the sound of the Martians' heat rays: it was such an obviously nineties sound effect that I couldn't go on believing that the story was set in the 1930s. This makes no sense - alien weaponry is under no obligation to fit in to the soundscape of the planet being invaded - but is still true.)
