Here's another new episode of my Bradbury 100 podcast. This time, I look at the early years of Ray Bradbury's professional career, which saw him not only mastering the craft of short story writing and putting together his first book, but branching out into media - in particular, getting his stories and scripts onto national radio shows such as CBS's SUSPENSE. Over a span of a dozen years, Suspense produced no fewer than eleven shows based on Bradbury stories, with some of the stories being produced multiple times. I argue that this early media presence - which included a number of stories previously unpublished - helped cement Bradbury's growing popularity and reputation. I have a playlist of full versions of all of Bradbury's SUSPENSE episodes in the shownotes on my website at https://bradburymedia.blogspot.com/2025/01/ray-bradbury-on-radio-suspense.html

Bradbury 100 - Episode 62 - Ray Bradbury and Leigh Brackett 19:00

19 днів тому19:00

19:00

In this episode, I look at the relationship between two greats of genre fiction: Ray Bradbury and his friend Leigh Brackett. Brackett is perhaps best remembered today as one of the screenwriters of STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK - but long before that she co-wrote THE BIG SLEEP and RIO BRAVO for Howard Hawks. Earlier still, she was a prolific writer of science fiction and crime fiction. And, crucially for this podcast: she was Ray Bradbury's mentor during the early years of his professional career. For more on Leigh Brackett and Ray Bradbury, check out the show notes at: https://bradburymedia.blogspot.com/2025/02/new-podcast-episode-ray-bradbury-and.html…

Bradbury 100 - Episode 60 - Ray Bradbury and The Simpsons! 24:12

10 weeks тому24:12

24:12

A few weeks ago, there was a new episode of The Simpsons which was entirely based on the works of Ray Bradbury. "Simpsons Wicked This Way Comes" is not the first time Ray has been referenced by the show. In fact, the number of Bradbury allusions across all of The Simpsons (i.e. on TV, in comics, and in books) now totals: thirteen. In this episode I detail them all! Many of them are represented by audio clips. But there are a few gags which are purely visual, including the comic-book and book appearances, and so I'll present some of those on my website.

Bradbury 100 - Episode 59 - "Lazarus Come Forth" 41:41

12 weeks тому41:41

41:41

"Lazarus Come Forth" (1944) is one of a handful of early Ray Bradbury stories to have slipped into the public domain. It's also one of two Bradbury stories set on board a "morgue ship" - a space ship that cleans up after space battles, collecting dead astronauts to (presumably) bring them back home for proper burial or cremation. In this episode, I bring you the background behind the story, and a complete reading of it. Enjoy! For more episodes of Bradbury 100, check out my website at www.bradburymedia.co.uk…

Bradbury 100 - Episode 55 - Chronological Bradbury 1942 19:06

1 year тому19:06

19:06

In my occasional series of "Chronological Bradbury" episodes, we reach the year 1942. This was Ray Bradbury's first full year as a professional writer, and the year he broke through to two of the leading science fiction and fantasy pulp magazines: Astounding Science Fiction, and Weird Tales. So it's an important year, although he only published two stories in that year. For full shownotes, visit my website: www.bradburymedia.co.uk…

43:54

In this new episode of Bradbury 100, I explore FUTURIA FANTASIA - the fanzine that Ray Bradbury produced when he was a teenage science fiction fan. The first issue of Futuria Fantasia, published when Ray was eighteen years old, catches him just before he heads off to New York for the first-ever World Science Fiction Convention. In that first issue, he is very much focused on "Tecnhnocracy", a movement which promised to turn science fiction into political reality.

Welcome to the FIFTIETH episode of Bradbury 100! This is another episode in my "Chronological Bradbury" strand - where I go through Ray Bradbury's publishing history in order. We've reached the year 1940, when Ray turned 20. It's a year which sees him getting no fewer than nine pieces of fiction published in amateur magazines. He's still a year away from his first professional sale (which will come in 1941), but 1940 shows him rapidly developing his plotting, characterisation, and use of language.…

1 year тому39:22

This time on Bradbury 100 I talk about The New Ray Bradbury Review, the online journal I edit on behalf of the Ray Bradbury Center. Specifically, I talk about the origins of the journal - which stretch way back to 1952, and William F. Nolan's original fan publication, called simply "Ray Bradbury Review". I also pay tribute to Nolan as the first person to really study Ray's work, and I discuss his ongoing engagement with Ray as both a friend and a colleague.
