The Bradbury Chronicles is a celebration of the life and work of science-fiction master Ray Bradbury. It is also an ode to the spoken word, an exploration of the art and joy of storytelling. Bradbury's prose has a poetry and musicality that just begs to be read out loud, so that's what I will be doing. Stick me in your ears (if that's not too weird, it is isn't it??) and enjoy the flow of Bradbury's words.
Episode Four of The Bradbury Chronicles is an epic tale taking us to the strange world of Venus, with a story that will get under your skin like a never ceasing rain...
Book Club -
I would love to know what you thought, here are some discussion points to get you started;
Big government versus small government, was Ray Bradbury a libertarian?
Were the sun domes really there? And how did Simmons survive for ten years?
What stories would you like me to cover on future episodes?
And stay tuned right to the end for some tea-tinged outtakes and information on how to follow the podcast and my other projects.
