Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: It's #ThrillerThursday and this time I bring you a strange story from master storyteller, Ray Bradbury. The story is odd in the beginning and gets slowly darker as it progresses. Our protagonist, Mr. Harris, has slowly become more and more obsessed with his own skeleton – which he only sees as a symbol of death, as an enemy. He sees his skeleton not as a part of him, but as a separate entity continually working against him… eventually coming to believe his skeleton is trying to kill him. While it's obvious the man is quite mad, it's still an interesting journey as he plunges further down into his madness as the story moves forward.SOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Skeleton” by Ray Bradbury: https://amzn.to/3TY0esqWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. =====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Born in Berkeley, California in 1933, he studied at UC Berkeley and began his career as an advertising copywriter in San Francisco before turning to fiction.And once he did, he never looked back. Goulart wrote across genres—science fiction, mystery, fantasy, and romance—publishing more than 180 books and an untold number of short stories.You might recognize his work without even knowing it. Ever heard of the TekWar novels credited to William Shatner? Goulart was the ghostwriter behind them.His son Sean once said that Ron's true passion was science fiction. “Deep down, he wanted to be the Ray Bradbury of humorous science fiction.” After hearing today's story, I think you'll agree—he pulled it off brilliantly.Turn to page 73 in Amazing Stories, July 1963, The Yes Men of Venus by Ron Goulart…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Hall and Upjohn had to escape from that "No-man's-land" on Mercury.

That's Debatable!' is the weekly podcast of the Free Speech Union. Hosts Tom Harris and Jan MacVarish – both staffers at the FSU – talk about the free speech controversies that have erupted in the past week. Please like, subscribe and share. In this week's episode, Jan Macvarish and Connie Shaw discuss the FSU's campaign against the ‘banter ban'. Connie describes legislative reforms that are being proposed as part of the government's Employment Rights Bill and the problems the FSU has identified with them for free speech. FSU General Secretary addressed the audience at last week's Comedy Unleashed gig and interviewed comedians including Andrew Doyle, Josh Howie and Francis Foster, about the prospect of ‘banter bouncers' in venues, clubs and pubs. You can find out more and watch the video here. Toby also appeared on Sunday's Free Speech Nation (around 1 hour 35 minutes in) to discuss the bill with Andrew Doyle. Connie encourages viewers and listeners to use our special online tool to alert members of the House of Lords to the dangers of the Bill and to encourage them to support Lord Young's amendments. It's not just the FSU that has identified problems - the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has also warned of the ‘risk of unintended consequences' and counselled the need to ‘balance…rights to freedom from harassment and freedom of expression'. You can read their briefing  here. Connie then introduces a news story she spotted about a US school-teacher who has been threatened with the sack for reading an unedited passage of To Kill A Mockingbird to pupils. She and Jan discuss how children need to be able to understand the context in which words gain their power and the role of teachers in guiding them through linguistic taboos that have changed over time. They then go on to talk about Ray Bradbury's dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451, written in 1953, which imagines a future America where books are banned and destroyed by fire. The novel explores the impact on memory, imagination and the ability to think and experience emotion that this has. And finally, they return to the ‘banter' question with an article reporting that a university researcher went undercover at his own golf club to analyse how jokes, innuendo and laddish banter forged a bonded but potentially exclusionary culture amongst golfers. The story raises questions about freedom of association, the role of humour in human relationships and research ethics. Edited by Jason Clift

"Vendrán las lluvias suaves" es uno de los cuentos más inquietantes de Ray Bradbury, donde una casa inteligente sigue funcionando tras la aniquilación de la humanidad por un holocausto nuclear. Sin humanos a quienes servir, la tecnología recita poemas, prepara desayunos y limpia habitaciones vacías, en una rutina absurda y melancólica. El relato, breve pero demoledor, denuncia el sinsentido de una civilización que se destruye a sí misma mientras su legado artificial sobrevive unos días más. Bradbury pone el foco en el miedo atómico de su época, recordándonos que la naturaleza y las máquinas seguirán… aunque nosotros ya no estemos.

Un hombre sale a caminar por la ciudad vacía y es interceptado por un vehículo de la policía. Así de sencillo es el logline de este cuento breve de Ray Bradbury. Con un fuerte sabor a Fahrenheit 451, "El peatón" nos invita a caminar por ese futuro distópico tecnologizado, que quizás no sea tan futuro ni lejano como a veces pensamos.¡Vuelve a Club de Lectura el gran Stefan Martchenko, y compartimos con ustedes esta fabulosa conversación!

A shattered Earth suddenly remembered poor Hathaway, marooned all alone there on Mars by the mad rush homeward. But—was Hathaway alone? Dwellers in Silence by Ray Bradbury. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.From time to time, we feature stories that were published in more than one magazine—often under different titles. That means we sometimes have to decide which title to use. Today, Ray Bradbury returns to the podcast with a story that first appeared in Maclean's Magazine, published in Toronto, Canada, in its September 1948 issue, titled The Long Years. A few months later, in the Spring 1949 edition of Planet Stories, the tale resurfaced under a new title on page 51, Dwellers in Silence by Ray Bradbury…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Together they discussed the Nobles—the old prospector and the weary, frightened man.

The professor invented a perfume that would never come off! He didn't know it was irresistible. The Irresistible Perfume by Harold Lawlor. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Author Harold Lawlor was born in 1910—though sources differ on whether his birthplace was Ireland or Chicago. Little is known about his life, but between 1942 and 1953, he wrote 35 short stories, many of which appeared in pulp magazines of the era. Lawlor is also credited with writing three episodes of the 1961 television series Thriller, according to the Internet Movie Database. One of his standout stories, “What Beckoning Ghost?”, published in the July 1948 issue of Weird Tales, later served as the inspiration for the 1979 film Dominique, starring Cliff Robertson, Jean Simmons, and Jenny Agutter.From Fantasic Adventures Magazine in May 1943, let's turn to page 102, The Irresistible Perfume by Harold Lawlor.…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A shattered Earth suddenly remembered poor Hathaway, marooned all alone there on Mars by the mad rush homeward.

Welcome back to the Manor!  And welcome to a different episode than originally planned!  Today (Thursday, June 5th, 2025) is the 13th anniversary of the passing of Ray Bradbury.  So tonight, we talked about Ray a bit and the things that we've done or have come out since our last Ray episodes, most of them back in 2020 for his 100th birthday year. This will be coming out just a few hours early so that we can actually get it out on his death day, rather than the usual Friday release. It involves his crime stories, an overlap with the Simpsons, his Ireland stories and plays, and more!  Enjoy! Next week's episode is the first part (of two) of our series on the 50th anniversary of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

On this episode of Drive-In Double Feature, Nathan and Ryan step into the prehistoric chaos of A Sound of Thunder (2005), a sci-fi disaster film inspired by the classic Ray Bradbury short story. The hosts unpack the time-traveling mess that unfolds when a futuristic safari goes horribly wrong, unleashing evolutionary chaos on modern-day Earth. Expect wild creatures, bizarre weather, questionable CGI, and plenty of timeline tampering. Is it a misunderstood B-movie gem or just a cautionary tale about bad adaptations? Tune in as they break down this cinematic anomaly.

Neovládám své psaní – ono ovládá mě.

Svět fanoušků sci-fi se 5. června 2012 ponořil do smutku. Ve věku jednadevadesáti let ho Ray Bradbury navždy opustil.

BROOKLYN WRITER WINS GRAND PRIZE AT HOLLYWOOD AWARDS EVENT Featured in New Release HOLLYWOOD - Brooklyn, New York writer Randyn Bartholomew is the Grand Prize Winner in the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest earning him the Golden Pen Award trophy and a $5,000 cash prize. His winning story, "Ascii," is published in the international bestselling anthology, L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 41 which will be officially released on April 22nd. Mr. Bartholomew was honored along with the other winners in the Writers and Illustrators of the Future Contests on April 10th at the Taglyan Complex in Hollywood, California. Born in New York state on pi day, Randyn grew up in the nearby New Jersey towns of Maplewood and Summit. Although majoring in math at Cornell, he's since switched gears to become a Brooklyn-based freelance writer of science journalism, ghost writing, copywriting, and, whenever possible, fiction. His articles have appeared in Scientific American, Salon, The Washington Post Magazine, among others. He enjoys running in Prospect Park, reading old books and new, and finding free lectures to attend. While he reads eclectically, his main love is science fiction. When people frown at this preference (or, much worse, smile politely) he calls in the cavalry and reminds himself of the Ray Bradbury quote, “I have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, sideshows or gorillas. When this occurs, I pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room.” He's been using a flip phone for the last four years. The Contest, one of the most prestigious writing and illustrating competitions in the world, is currently in its 42nd year and is judged by some of the premier names in speculative fiction. WASHINGTON ARTIST HONORED AT HOLLYWOOD AWARDS GALA Featured in New Release HOLLYWOOD - Washington, Utah artist Ms. Tremani Sutcliffe is a winner in the L. Ron Hubbard Illustrators of the Future Contest and was honored along with ten other artists and twelve writers at the Taglyan Complex in Hollywood, California on April 10th. Her art is published along with the other writers' and illustrators' stories and art in the international bestselling anthology, L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 41 which will be officially released on April 22nd 2025. Tremani Sutcliffe, born in 1990 in Provo, Utah, spent her early years exploring the rugged landscapes of middle-of-nowhere Arizona, where hiking in desert mountains and catching rattlesnakes ignited her adventurous spirit. Her passion for art stemmed from her love of books, and the fantastical covers that inspired her imagination. In true bookworm fashion, her artistic journey began at the local library, where she immersed herself in art instruction books, laying the foundation for her artistic journey. Through daily practice, relentless pursuit of new skills, and seeking mentorship from established artists, her commitment to learning new methods has continuously expanded her artistic repertoire. Tremani views art as a fusion of technique and creativity that brings beauty and meaning to life. After spending most of her young life drawing and painting with watercolors, she expanded her skillset to include oils. Although she also began working with acrylics, she quickly decided they must have been invented by an angry dude with horns and a pitchfork for the sole purpose of making her life miserable….and decided to develop her digital painting skills instead. The Illustrators of the Future Contest judges include, Bob Eggleton (11 Chesley Awards and 9 Hugo Awards), Larry Elmore (Dungeons & Dragons book covers), Echo Chernik (graphic designs for major corporations including Celestial Seasonings tea packaging), Rob Prior (art for Spawn, Heavy Metal comics and Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Ciruelo (Eragon Coloring Book).

Nesta segunda parte do podcast “A Beleza das Pequenas Coisas”, o antigo ministro da Economia, António Costa Silva, fala de como o seu último romance “Desconseguiram Angola” é um grito de revolta e uma denúncia dos horrores da guerra, em todas as latitudes e geografias. Depois deixa críticas ao poder angolano e dá conta de como os sonhos roubados na sua juventude podem ser resgatados. E ainda fala de como conheceu o amor da sua vida, a Luísa, partilha músicas e sugestões culturais, revela o que anda a escrever e lê um excerto do livro de ficção científica “Fahrenheit 451”, de Ray Bradbury. E mostra-nos como a literatura é, por vezes, um oráculo sobre os tempos distópicos que vivemos. Boas escutas!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Capítulo 266 de este podcast literalmente literario, en el que te vuelvo a traer a un genio de la literatura que ya ha pasado por este programa en varias ocasiones. Te dejo con el gran Ray Bradbury. Narrado por Xavi Villanueva !Nuevo episodio! Ya puedes disfrutar de Caleidoscopio. RAY BRADBURY en ABISMOfm.

This stylized post-apocalyptic thriller is a unique example of a mainstream Hollywood blockbuster with overtly Christian themes, even if it stops just short of a true Christian message. Directed by the Hughes Brothers (MENACE II SOCIETY, DEAD PRESIDENTS, FROM HELL) and starring beloved leading man Denzel Washington, THE BOOK OF ELI depicts the Bible as a source of tremendous power in a fallen world. Eli (Denzel Washington) is a survivor of a nuclear holocaust, wandering westward on a mysterious mission with few possessions except for a large book that he treasures. When Eli crosses paths with local warlord Carnegie (Gary Oldman), Carnegie suspects that Eli's book may be the Bible, which Carnegie himself has been seeking because he believes reading it will give him the power to control large groups of people. Carnegie is perhaps a metaphor for hypocritical conmen religious leaders who use Christianity as a way to acquire power and money, whereas Eli could represent Christ or even just a true honest believer who has made it his mission to spread faith into the world. This metaphor becomes even more clear when Eli's quest is revealed to be delivery of the Bible to an enclave of secret archivists who will reprint and preserve it forever. The authenticity of Eli's faith becomes even more clear when Carnegie does steal the Bible, only to be upset to find it is written in Braille, revealing Eli to have been blind the whole time. Despite being mortally wounded by Carnegie, Eli makes it to the archivists in time to speak the entire Bible to them as an oral tradition, ensuring its preservation. In the final scene of the movie, we see the archivists putting the newly reprinted Bible on a shelf alongside the Torah and the Quran. This ending, which is obviously inspired by the novel FAHRENHEIT 451 by Ray Bradbury, shows that THE BOOK OF ELI is not a truly Christian genre film — few faith-based films would equate the Bible and the Quran. To view THE BOOK OF ELI through the lens of faith-based film criticism is to see it as a religious cop out; hinting that the Bible is the source of spiritual truth but ultimately dismissing it as “just another book on a shelf.” View our full episode list and subscribe to any of our public feeds: http://boysbiblestudy.com Unlock 2+ bonus episodes per month: http://patreon.com/boysbiblestudy Subscribe to our Twitch for livestreams: http://twitch.tv/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/boysbiblestudy

Finding a cause worth dying for is no great trick—the Universe is full of them. Finding one worth living for is the genuine problem! Orphans of the Void by Michael Shaara. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.How many vintage science fiction authors won a Pulitzer Prize? Ray Bradbury never won a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, but received a Pulitzer Special Citation in 2007 for his impact on literature. The answer is three. Booth Tarkington, MacKinlay Kantor and Michael Shaara. Booth Tarkington is one of only four novelists to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once, along with William Faulkner, John Updike, and Colson Whitehead. Tarkington wrote only three short sci-fi stories. MacKinlay Kantor wrote eight short sci-fi stories and one science fiction novel If the South Had Won the Civil War released in 1961.Michael Shaara is the most well known of the three. Shaara was born in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1928. Before he began selling sci-fi for 2 cents a word in the 1950s he was a boxer and a police officer. He won his Pulitzer for his novel about the Battle of Gettysburg, The Killer Angels which won the award in 1975, and was showcased on the big screen in the 1993 movie Gettysburg starring Tom Berenger and Martin Sheen.Shaara also wrote the 1991 novel For Love of the Game which was made into the 1999 film with the same name starring Kevin Costner and Kelly Preston. But it all began back in 1952. He wrote two dozen short sci-fi stories and this was his first. From Galaxy Science Fiction in June 1952, we will discover this tale of artificial intelligence, and the fate of a forgotten world on page 78, Orphans of the Void by Michael Shaara...Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Renwick, with too much time on his hands, was bored.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! Have you ever been halfway through an entertaining piece of media, whether a movie, or a story, or say...a podcast episode... and suddenly  found yourself thinking, "Gee, is this a little culturally insensitive?" Well, that's how I felt listening to Ken's accent work during this week's story. To be clear, there is nothing racist about the story. It's just, sometimes an accent is so bad it's offensive... Anyway, this week, Ken gets to read "The Monster Maker" by Ray Bradbury. It's a wild adventure story reminiscent of some TTRPGs a certain member of this show's production staff has played recently. "The Monster Maker" was published 1944 in Planet Stories. Extensive research has found no evidence of an active copyright. Email us at 5050artsproduction@gmail.com. Remember to tell five friends to check out Campfire Classics. Like, subscribe, leave a review. Now sit back, light a fire (or even a candle), grab a drink, and enjoy.

Are dragons pure fantasy, or do real-world creatures—from dinosaurs to bombardier beetles—hold the secrets to their legendary traits? Or could actual dragons have actually existed?IN THIS EPISODE: Is it possible dragons are… or at least were… real? Science takes a look at the possibility. (Are Dragons Real?) *** In a thick, dark forest in Colorado is a foreboding house which is considered one of the most haunted places in the U.S. (Haunted House In The Black Forest) *** A woman has the gift of speaking with and interacting with those who have passed on… but what began as a gift, evolved into a curse. (The Man Is Back) *** Weirdo family member Ezra tells us of his personal encounter with a black-eyed child. (An Angel Saved Me From a Black Eyed Kid) *** Pukwudgies were known to Native Americans, who gave them a wide berth. And if you see one, it's best to stay away. (What is a Pukwudgie?) *** What began as a practical joke soon became one of the greatest hoaxes in American history – it's the true story of the Cardiff Giant. (The Petrified Man) *** Jody smiled at the children playing in her backyard. She didn't know them, they were probably the neighbors' kids. At least that's what she thought at first until she began to notice something disturbing about those children. (Phantom Children of Guilford) *** Dealing with the paranormal is already unsettling. What if you were to learn that the supernatural has actually been feeding on you? (Supernatural Feedings) *** Newlywed couples planning a trip to Venice envision romantic walkways and Renaissance art.

Matt Crawford speaks with author Don Johnston about his book, By Means of Peace: A Novel. In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, one man's promise of peace becomes humanity's greatest threat. Reuben Rogov, a charismatic third-party President, emerges as a beacon of hope in troubled times. He brokers peace in the Middle East, faces down global superpowers, and conquers both the border crisis and a deadly pandemic. As the world hails him a sociopolitical messiah, Rogov ascends to unparalleled power–but at what cost? Darien and Marisa, a young couple from Houston, find themselves caught in the crosshairs of a rapidly changing political landscape. As Marisa is drawn into the heart of the new world order in Washington, their relationship is tested by distance, loyalty, and mounting suspicions about the true nature of Rogov's regime. Don Johnston's gripping narrative serves as a stark warning about the potential consequences of unchecked power and the seductive allure of false peace, all the while keeping pages turning like a classic by Philip K. Dick or Ray Bradbury. Kirkus Reviews hails it as “A chilling, futuristic tale of freedom lost.” Don't miss this thought-provoking thriller that will leave you pondering long after you've turned the last page.
