Today is August 4, 2026 [Crossposted from AI StopWatch] In the living room the voice-clock sang, Tick-tock, seven o'clock, time to get up, time to get up, seven o'clock! as if it were afraid that nobody would. So begins Ray Bradbury's There Will Come Soft Rains, a short story that has haunted me for most of my life. Depicting the aftermath of nuclear war, it was first published in 1950. It takes place today. Literally: “Today is August 4, 2026,” said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, “in the city of Allendale, California.” It repeated the date three more times for memory's sake. “Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills.” Was it narrative convenience or prophetic vision that drove Bradbury to depict the smart house of the future as gratuitously conspicuous in its competence, pointlessly reminding the owners of the year and their city of residence? There's something very Alexa-like about that — and about the janky brittleness evident in the system as it prepares breakfast for a family that won't be eating and opens the garage door for a father who [...] --- First published: August 4th, 2026 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/aowxE8xZ8xkhRCn9r/there-will-come-soft-rains-1 --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

Can you believe a storyteller? Ray Bradbury was a consummate storyteller who, in the introduction to his 1950 short story collection The Martian Chronicles, offered a possible origin story for the work. He had, he recalled, been 24 years of age when he read Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg Ohio, a collection of stories about small-town life.  The book inspired him to wonder if he could do something similar for American small-town life, but set on Mars. In amongst his other commitments, he set sail on a journey that ultimately would see him produce close to three dozen short stories set on the red planet. The first, "The Million Year Picnic" appeared in 1946, but they followed over the next four years. At some point between then and 1948 Bradbury set the notion of a book to one side and it was only when he travelled to New York in 1949 that he picked the task up once more.  Doubleday editor Walter Bradbury was interested in publishing Bradbury, but needed a novel to anchor the deal. It was he who suggested that Bradbury should sketch out a plan for a book, and who then signed it up and published it the following year.  The Martian Chronicles went on to international acclaim, selling millions of copies across many, many editions, and remaining one of Bradbury's most famous works. The recent 80th anniversary of the first appearance of "The Million Year Picnic" and the passing this week of August 4, 2026 (the date specified in "There Will Come Soft Rains") inspired Gary and Jonathan to sit down with Jeffrey Ford and Kelly Link to discuss the continuing relevance of Bradbury's classic work.

Richard Bradbury is the managing director at Theakston. An independent, family brewing company founded in 1827, the business is located in the Yorkshire Dales market town of Masham, North Yorkshire, controlled by 5th generation direct family descendants of the founder, Robert Theakston. As one of Britain's oldest established family brewing companies Theakston is famed throughout the country and overseas for its wide range of premium ales brewed in their historic Victorian tower brewery. The business is chaired by Simon Theakston, with his son William joining the company in 2024. And since 2023, Richard Bradbury has led the business operations in that role of managing director. As guardian of an institution known for such storied beers as Old Peculier, he is more than aware of the rich history Theakston boasts. A story that encompasses everything from world wars to economic highs and lows, and even takeovers and buy-backs throughout nearly two centuries of brewing. But as the business approaches such an important landmark in 2027, the focus at Theakston isn't one of reflection but of relevance. And the company continues to ably demonstrate how to respect its heritage but operate highly effectively across the modern hospitality landscape.

Recorded shortly after CineEurope 2026 in Barcelona, host Mike Bradbury returns with regulars Kevin Markwick and Toni Purvis to discuss what they saw at Europe's largest cinema trade exhibition from a technology stand point including e-paper and acoustically transparent LED screens.  The team also talk about premium formats, whether the "L" in PLF should be for luxury, look at Disney's upcoming Infinity Vision format and much more.

Most people think wealth begins with money. Matt Bradbury's story proves it begins with ownership, discipline, and the willingness to start where you are.Long before building successful businesses and investing in real estate, Matthew was a young husband and father raising three children while living in a mobile home and relying on government assistance. Instead of allowing those circumstances to define his future, he used them as the foundation for something much greater.Corwyn J. Melette and Matthew explore how affordable homeownership, entrepreneurship, financial discipline, and long-term thinking can create opportunities that change a family's future. From protecting equity to building businesses and creating generational wealth, this conversation demonstrates that lasting success is built through intentional decisions—not perfect circumstances.Key Takeaways:00:01 Wealth begins with wise decisions—not money04:15 From a mobile home to financial success09:20 Why starting small creates long-term opportunities12:20 Business ownership and real estate work together17:35 Why owning equity matters21:40 Leadership, integrity, and lasting success26:20 Why your starting point never defines your futureLegacy Building Takeaway:"Put yourself third.

Past Futures with Amelia - Lee Bradbury

"Creatures That Time Forgot" by Ray Bradbury transports listeners to a bizarre and extreme world, where relentless sunlight gives way to frigid nights, and life is compressed into a mere eight days. The protagonist, Sim, grapples with the desperate desire to escape to a distant ship, symbolizing hope and survival against overwhelming odds. This gripping tale resonates with contemporary themes of human resilience and the struggle for freedom in the face of insurmountable challenges. Bradbury's masterful storytelling invites listeners to reflect on the fragility of existence and the instinctual drive to seek a better future, making it a timeless exploration of the human condition.

Tony West, Georgia state director for Americans for Prosperity, fills in for Buzz Brockway to discuss economic freedom, Georgia politics, election security and the 2026 campaign. Scot Turner and Tony examine J.C. Bradbury's criticism of special-interest tax breaks and the exaggerated economic promises surrounding major events. They also reflect on the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's observation that there is no secret group of experts who truly controls Washington. Other topics include: • Burt Jones' refusal to commit to supporting Republican gubernatorial nominee Rick Jackson • Shelley Wynter's defense of Jones • Brad Raffensperger's framing of discrepancies involving 0.07% of hand-marked ballots • The trade-offs between hand-marked ballots and ballot-marking devices • Speculation surrounding President Trump's July 16 election speech • Whether Republicans should continue focusing on the 2020 election • Jon Ossoff's major fundraising advantage over Mike Collins • Why Collins may have a harder path to victory than Rick Jackson This episode was recorded before President Trump's July 16 address. Scot also previews his July 30 ranked-choice voting debate with Georgia Republican Party attorney Brad Carver.

El viento «The Wind» 1943 by Weird Tales. Desde su primera publicación importante hasta sus últimos cuentos inéditos recopilados póstumamente, Bradbury construyó una obra que desafía los géneros, que atraviesa décadas sin envejecer, que conmueve tanto como perturba. Fue un autor popular , sus libros vendieron millones de ejemplares, pero también fue un escritor rotundamente personal, casi visionario. Supo anticipar muchas de las ansiedades contemporáneas: la sobreexposición tecnológica, la soledad urbana, la banalización del horror. Pero lo hizo sin renunciar jamás a la emoción, a la imaginación, a la esperanza incluso en medio de la ruina. Su literatura no es la de los futuros posibles, sino la de las memorias imposibles.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the legendary Steven Bradbury. All of our Australian listeners, and many of our international listeners as well, will remember the epic moment in 2002 when Steven became the first Australian ever to win a Gold medal at the Winter Olympics. It was such a memorable race as Steven came from behind to win the final, and in doing so, created the term ‘Doing a Bradbury’, which was added to the Macquarie Dictionary in 2014. However, there’s so much more to Steven’s story than that one moment, and we were so grateful to be able to hear more about his journey of strength, passion and resilience. In this episode, we chat to Steven about his speed skating career and some of the most heart-stopping moments, including 2 specific crashes where he almost lost his life. It’s incredible to hear Steven talk about the incident in Montreal where he lost ¾ of his blood in 1 minute, and his next significant injury, 18 months out from his final Olympics, when he broke his neck in training. The sheer determination and resilience that Steven showed to keep going and pursue Gold is incredibly inspiring. We also walk through that famous final and unbelievable moment with Steven. What was happening in the lead-up to the race, the strategy that he and his coach decided on, and what it felt like to watch everyone fall over in front of him, win Gold, but have the entire crowd booing because the local favourite had gone down in the fall. We chat about Steven’s new career as a motivational speaker and entrepreneur, the incredible work ethic he has, the way he’s fuelled by adrenaline and the brewery he started, with the best name ever, Last Man Standing. Steven has some great tips on finding your passion, working really hard at it, and not giving up too early. We really loved having Steven in the studio with us, hearing his story and sharing some laughs. We’re not the only ones who think his story is incredible, it turns out a film is going to be made about his life, which we also chat about in this episode. We hope you love it as much as we did.

It quickly became a widely acclaimed cautionary tale about the dangers of censorship, authoritarianism and the effects of mass media on human ideas and connection.  One of the most prominent science fiction books it is easy to understand why François Truffaut, one of the French New Wave's most prominent directors, became utterly focused on making the story into a film.  The process had its challenges with producers, funding and a casting changes causing delays. The film was finally wrapped up and released in 1966 to both positive and negative reviews. It is an interesting watch if not a gripping one and my two expert guests unravel the ins and outs of how it came to be.  Ian Scott is a Professor of American Film and History at The University of Manchester. He has written extensively about politics and film in Hollywood including the book American Politics in Hollywood Film.

Nicole Bradbury's World Cup short track race came down to the wire. Following terrible opening laps—where she dropped to the back of the field and then was taken down by a crash—the Hamilton rider got up to the front of the race. Not only had that event in Val di Sole this past June been a struggle, but the years leading up to that race were marked by setback after setback. A few times, she thought she would quit racing cross country. As the race in Italy went on, Bradbury realized a top-15 place would be possible. Then, a top-10 came into view. “Then, it was like the last lap of the World Cup, and I was in fourth. This is so sick. The whole time I was just panicking. I was like, I got to hold this top-five,” she said. Bradbury was in second position into the final corner. “I was behind Katharina Sadnik and I was, like, this is insane,” Bradbury said. “I thought I have to sprint because otherwise it's position one or two, and I don't want to be second. I started sprinting really, really hard. I still didn't think I was going to pass her. When I was passing her, I was, like, this is stupid. I can't believe it.” Not only was Bradbury surprised by the win, she was totally unprepared. She had no change of kit for the podium, so another racer hosed Bradbury down in the bike-wash area. The winner also needed some coaching on how to open a champagne bottle. The rest of Bradbury's 2025 season went pretty well. The World Cup in Lake Placid helped her to build more confidence. In the fall, she returned to Brevard College in North Carolina for her final year of school and collegiate racing. She won the U.S. Omnium Championship. Then, with the new year, it seemed the momentum of the previous one was faltering. Logistical and health issues hindered her preparation for the 2026 season, her first as an elite rider. While she has the support of Victoria-based Blue Bridge Racing, Bradbury is still operating like a privateer racer. Funds are tight. In this episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast, Bradbury goes into detail about her career to date, and the perspective she has on her uncertain future. Also, she discusses her art. Her recent exhibition of oil and gouache paintings has a strong connection with her cross country career.

Most business owners are working toward a number… But very few have stopped to ask where that number actually came from.   In this episode, I sit down with Nolan Bradbury to talk about a completely different way to think about money, numbers, and growth in your business.   This isn't about spreadsheets, taxes, or traditional accounting. It's about using your numbers as a tool to design a business that actually supports the life you want.   We talk about why so many business owners are chasing revenue without clarity… Why more money doesn't always mean more freedom… And how your business can become the most powerful asset you have—when you start asking the right questions.   If you've ever felt like you're working harder than you should be… Or that your business looks good on paper but doesn't feel as good as it should… This conversation is going to shift how you see everything.     If this episode resonated, it's a powerful invitation to stop guessing and start using your numbers to intentionally design your business and your life.   You can connect with Nolan Bradbury and take his free assessment to uncover the questions you should be asking about your business and finances here.   And if you're ready to go deeper - identifying where the money already exists inside your business and how to grow it in a way that feels easier and more aligned - that's exactly the work I do with my clients.   Book a profit strategy call here and let's find where the money is hiding in your business right now.   Mentioned in this episode Bradfield Accounting & Advisory Financial Clarity Assessment Nolan Bradbury on LinkedIn Subscribe to Email List Leave a Podcast Review   Work/Connect with me: Offer Optimization Scorecard Book a Profit Strategy Call Leave a Podcast Review Subscribe   Tune in to start taking your business and life to the next level today and don't forget to subscribe or follow the podcast to make sure you don't miss any future episodes.

Dorothy de Kok skims author bios with mild suspicion—aware they matter, but quietly convinced they are proof that even the greatest writers have writer's block when they have to write about themselves … and here we are. Her own storytelling journey began at twelve, when she attempted her first novel: an earnest and spectacularly terrible fan fiction of Enid Blyton's Magic Faraway Tree series. She finished it, reread it proudly, then lost it, which is just as well, as it was a threat to great literature. Since then, Dorothy has collected an unusually broad résumé: high school English teacher, academic editor, safe-house director, real estate agent, and hopeful but horrendous gardener. She has spent years listening to people's stories—students, clients, and survivors—and those voices sometimes find their way into her fiction. Michael T. Kuester is an engineer by day, science fiction writer by night. An avid hiker and cooking enthusiast, Michael is a passionately curious individual, and lives his life by the motto “In the twenty-first century, there's no excuse for an unanswered question”. Over the years he's devoted free time to researching everything from the history of naval warfare to the origins of potato chips. Michael resides in Cincinnati, Ohio, with his partner Jen, their two children, and their freeloader housemate Eddie the Cat. His work will be appearing soon in Analog Science Fiction and Fact, but L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 42 will mark his professional debut. Mark McWaters Mark McWaters has long been a fan of all things that go bump in the night, scratch at the door, or blow cold air on the back of your neck. From a very young age, he carried a pad and pencil around with him, composing poems to give to girls. He devoured all the Hardy Boys and Doc Savage books he could get his hands on and expanded his reading horizons from there. Robert Heinlein, Asimov, and Bradbury, whetted his appetite for Sci-Fi. Ann Rice's Interview With The Vampire blew his mind. A scene from Stephen King's Salem's Lot haunts him to this day. And Watcher by Dean Koontz made him a lifelong fan.

This week, we're doing something a little different on Ron's Amazing Stories. Ron heads back into the archives, dusting off some classic segments from past episodes and bringing them together for a special throwback edition of the show. If you've been listening for a while, you'll recognize a few familiar favorites—but there are also a few surprises waiting along the way. From vintage science fiction readings to classic radio mysteries and a thought-provoking tale from Ray Bradbury, this episode is a fun mix of old and new… with just a bit of tampering. So sit back, relax, and enjoy a journey through the golden age of storytelling—Ron style. In This Episode As Read By - A return to a fan-favorite segment inspired by Librivox, featuring "Gib Takes a Space Test" from a 1957 science fiction collection—where imagination leads the way and the future is anyone's guess. Five Minute Mystery - A classic 1940s mini-mystery, complete with Ron's signature humorous interruptions and a sponsor you probably weren't expecting. Main Feature – X Minus One: "The Veldt" - A chilling adaptation of a Ray Bradbury story about a fully automated nursery where imagination—and technology—may go too far. Story Thoughts - A look at Bradbury's themes of technology, parenting, and whether our modern conveniences are helping us… or quietly taking control. A Moment in Time - A nostalgic radio clip from the past, with insight into why it mattered then—and why it still does today.

The idea of becoming an attraction agent sounds simple, but in reality it requires a very different approach to how many businesses operate day to day. Instead of constantly chasing leads, referrals and growth, the focus shifts to building a presence where opportunities come to you. This conversation explores what actually drives that shift – from how you show up in your market, to how you communicate your value, and the consistency required to build trust over time.I'm joined by Tara Bradbury, Director of Active Agents in Hervey Bay, who shares her experience across property management, BDM and business ownership. Tara offers a grounded and practical perspective on what it takes to stand out, especially when starting from zero. From community involvement and client experience to social media visibility, reputation management and leveraging the right technology, she breaks down how strong, sustainable growth is built through intentional actions rather than quick wins.There is also a clear message here for leaders navigating growth in a changing market. Relying on one source of business or outdated processes is no longer enough. Agencies need to stay adaptable, regularly review their strategies and ensure their systems genuinely support the experience they promise. For property managers, BDMs and business owners, this is a conversation that challenges the traditional hustle mindset and offers a smarter, more sustainable way to build momentum and long-term success.“It's not who you know. It's who knows you. That is the most important thing out there.” - Tara BradburyWe cover:Concept of becoming an "attraction agent" in property managementTransition from chasing leads to attracting business through reputation and trustImportance of aligning business development strategies with personal comfort levelsRole of transparency, confidence, and trust in investor-agent relationshipsUtilization of technology and software for enhanced property management servicesImpact of social media and community engagement on visibility and client attractionStrategies for handling client feedback and reputation managementBalancing professional commitments with personal life in property managementImportance of ongoing education and personal development resourcesEncouragement for agents to be proactive and adaptable in their business approachesKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie: https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/coaching-call Kolmeo: https://kolmeo.com/ Find out about our Done for You Lead Generation - https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/done-for-you-leads-discovery-call35 AI Prompts to help you Grow your Business on Social Media: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/35-prompts-to-grow-your-property-management-business-on-social-mediahttps://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/5-misktakes-replayDigital Marketing and AI Academyhttps://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalmarketingyesConnect with Tara Bradbury:https://activeagents.com.au/Connect With Kylie:Follow Kylie Walker on Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/thatpropertymum_/Follow Kylie on Facebook - https://web.facebook.com/thatpropertymumConnect with Kylie on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylie-wal...Explore Kylie's Website - https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/Watch Kylie on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@thatpropertymum

On The Football Coaching Podcast, hosts Daniel Chamberlain and Joe Daniel record live at Milton Academy in Massachusetts with guests Brady Bradbury and Kahn Chace, discussing what they wish they'd known before becoming head coaches. Bradbury says he initially assumed he'd run a complex 4-2-5 college system, but learned to tailor schemes to players and staff capabilities, simplify to help coaches teach, and manage constant daily "fires" unrelated to football. The group emphasizes that coaches often overestimate staff buy-in, must intentionally schedule time to educate coaches, and should delegate without trying to control everything. Chace advises not to pursue the title alone, to find and stay with good people and loyal administrators, and to know your "why," sharing that his is watching players improve. Chamberlain adds that persistence through rejections can lead to the right job, and notes head coaching requires year-round time and planning.

The Chicago Bears acted quickly to trade for center Garrett Bradbury after Drew Dalman's sudden retirement. Here's how Bradbury can help Caleb Williams continue his growth.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/shaw-local-s-bears-insider-podcast--3098936/support.

Ruthie Polinsky and Clay Harbor dive into a busy stretch for the Bears, starting with the team trading for former New England Patriots center Garrett Bradbury following Drew Dalman's retirement. They break down how Bradbury fits into Chicago's offensive line and what the move signals about the Bears' approach to reshaping the roster. The conversation then turns to a flurry of free agency news, including additions like safety Coby Bryant, linebacker Devin Bush, and wide receiver Kalif Raymond, along with the team bringing back linebacker D'Marco Jackson. Ruthie and Clay also discuss players departing Chicago, such as cornerback Nahshon Wright signing with the Jets.

A inteligência artificial escreve bem, responde rápido e parece entender tudo. Mas será que entende mesmo? Neste episódio, partimos de HAL 9000, de 2001:Uma Odisseia no Espaço, para explorar um fenômeno curioso do nosso tempo: máquinas que soam inteligentes… e pessoas cada vez mais dispostas a acreditar. Com Asimov, Bradbury e Arthur C. Clarke como guias, refletimos sobre um risco silencioso da era da IA: quando a aparência de inteligência começa a substituir o pensamento humano.

Dan Bradbury van Engeland het sy tweede Johannesburg Ope met een hou gewen en 'n derde DP World-toertitel by die Houghton Gholfklub verower.

NEW YORK, NY - Some CRITICAL history was made this week in Major League Rugby that may have been lost in the Bad Bunny vs Kid Rock Super Bowl hangover/shadows. But MLR Weekly is here to make certain you are up to speed on this LANDMARK AGREEMENT between players and owners.

Dimension X Presents: Two Expeditions to Mars This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we turn our attention skyward to one of the most influential works of science fiction ever written — The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. First published in 1950, Bradbury's interconnected stories of Mars weren't really about rockets or planets. They were about us — our memories, our habits, and the things we carry with us wherever we go. Tonight's program features two outstanding radio adaptations from NBC's classic series Dimension X, bringing Bradbury's Mars to life through sound and imagination alone. In This Episode A personal reflection on discovering The Martian Chronicles in a high school English class A brief history of Ray Bradbury and the creation of The Martian Chronicles "Mars Is Heaven!" — a haunting early expedition where Mars feels a little too familiar "—And the Moon Be Still as Bright" — the fourth mission to Mars, and the cost of changing a new world A reflective commentary on Bradbury's warnings, radio storytelling, and why these stories still matter today Bradbury once said he wasn't trying to predict the future — he was trying to prevent it. Decades later, his stories still ask the same quiet question: when we reach somewhere new, do we listen first… or do we remake it in our own image?

“EXORCISM” by Ray Bradbury | When her mailman husband delivered a package of forbidden books to the woman up the street, Elmira Brown finally had proof of what she'd suspected all along — and she wasn't about to let a witch win another election.IN THIS EPISODE: The name Ray Bradbury immediately brings to mind such fictional tales – classics, many of them… some of which I've narrated here in the podcast such as “The Jar”, “Skeleton”, and “The Small Assassin.” But as good as Bradbury was at writing about the paranormal, he could also write comedy – and in tonight's story he combines the two. “Exorcism” is a fun short tale about a nosy housewife who suspects an older woman in town is studying to become a witch… and decides to confront the old lady to voice her disapproval. SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Exorcism” by Ray Bradbury, from the book “The Stories of Ray Bradbury” from Rosetta Books:https://amzn.to/49nrJTGWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
