Podcasts about Ray Bradbury

I recently read a book I love to read when I need to get away from the world: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.One of the major takeaways from Fahrenheit 451 for me is to always avoid the easy seduction of a constant stream of entertainment and consistently read difficult books, form my own opinions and think for myself. What a radical act! To avoid herd thinking and develop your own philosophy, beliefs and ways of rolling through the rest of your life.  Yet, this is what you and I must do. To be true to our souls, honest with our promise and loyal to our purpose. My latest book “The Wealth Money Can't Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I'm absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open with Khloé Kardashian's latest product, a probiotic lollipop marketed for women's health that sparks confusion, disbelief, and plenty of commentary about modern wellness trends and celebrity marketing. The discussion turns to storytelling and the state of modern science fiction, contrasting the hopeful tone of authors like Ray Bradbury with today's politically driven narratives. The hosts examine how creativity has shifted from imagination and adventure toward ideology, and why audiences still crave classic escapism in entertainment. Things take a bizarre turn when they react to the real-life headline of lab monkeys escaping in Mississippi after a highway crash. The monkeys, reportedly carrying illnesses like hepatitis C, set off a wild chain of reactions as the crew jokes about government response, media fear tactics, and the absurdity of modern news. The episode wraps with a sharp breakdown of New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's socialist platform, AOC's dramatic rally appearance, and a musical performance that ties together the week's chaos with a laugh. Today's guests on "Normal World" are Mike Imbasciani and Josh Jennings. Sponsors Undertac Stock up now, enjoy premium gear that works as hard as you do, and lock in your entries for $100,000 in gold.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 26, 2025 is: cognoscente • kahn-yuh-SHEN-tee • noun Cognoscente refers to a person with expert knowledge in a subject. It is usually encountered in its plural form, cognoscenti, and preceded by the. // The audience at the club, though small, was full of writers, musicians, and other noteworthy members of the jazz cognoscenti. See the entry > Examples: "Even as [Ray] Bradbury was embraced by the New York cognoscenti—traveling to the city in the fall of '46, drawing the attention of Truman Capote, meeting Gore Vidal, dancing with Carson McCullers at a Manhattan party—Mars beckoned. Yet he would not dare tell his New York associates, for fear of being laughed out of the room." — Sam Weller, LitHub.com, 28 Apr. 2025 Did you know? Cognoscente and connoisseur—both terms for those in the know—are more than synonyms; they're also linguistic cousins. Both terms descend from the Latin verb cognōscere, meaning "to know," and they're not alone. You might guess that cognizance and cognition are members of the cognōscere clan. Do you also recognize a family resemblance in recognize? Can you see through the disguise of incognito? Did you have a premonition that we would mention precognition? Cognoscente itself came to English by way of Italian and has been a part of the language since the late 1700s.

Antonio Martínez Asensio vuelve a abrir la sala de lectura de tres minutos de La Biblioteca de Hoy por Hoy para contarnos Fahrenheit 451, un gran clásico, escrito por Ray Bradbury, y que puedes leer en tu casa en poco más de 4 horas.

Esta mañana del 24 de octubre, Día Internacional de las Bibliotecas, nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio nos trajo a una escritora que está impactando con su primera novela. Es la gallega Lucía Solla Sobral, autora de 'Comerás flores', editada por Libros del Asteroide. Es un thriller psicológico sobre un tema la violencia machista, pero con un lenguaje tan poético y un personaje con el que empatizas tanto que a la vez que sufres, le pones nombre a lo que todos vemos y no somos capaces de denunciar.  Lucía, además de donarnos su libro, nos dejó uno de los que más le ha gustado en su vida:  'Tengo miedo torero' de Pedro Lemebel (Las Afueras). Pero antes de la entrevista con Lucía Solla Sobral, Antonio Martínez Asensio nos contó en tres minutos  'Fahrenheit 451' de Ray Bradbury (DeBolsillo), un clásico brutal. Tambié nuestro bibliotecario nos dejó uno de sus libros de su programa 'Un libro , una hora', 'Los bienes de este mundo' de Irene Némirovsky (Salamandra). Y ya en el capítulo de novedades,  Pepe Rubio nos trajo 'Inventario de siembra' de Thais Gamaza (Editorial  16)  y 'Hansel y Gretel' de Stephen King y Maurice Sendak (Lumen). Pascual Donate en su búsqueda de libros abandonados en la redacción de la SER recuperó un poemario 'Ojalá joder' de Escandar Algeet (Ya lo Dijo Casimiro Parker) . Y terminamos con las donaciones de los oyentes que fueron: 'Tan poca vida' de Hanya Yanagihara (Lumen), 'Crónicas marcianas" de Ray Bradbury (páginas de espuma), 'Doña Rosita la soltera' de Federico García Lorca (Austral)  y 'Mi enemigo mortal' de Willa Cather (Alba Editorial). 

Our journey through the years of "radio's outstanding theatre of thrills" ends with my favorite installments from the final years of Suspense. Ray Bradbury presents a terrifying tale of a popular new kids' game in "Zero Hour" (originally aired on April 5, 1955), and a pharmacist races to correct a potentially fatal error in "To None a Deadly Drug" (originally aired on CBS on October 25, 1955). A man meticulously plots how to dispose of his wife's body in "Variations on a Theme" (originally aired on CBS on February 7, 1956), and William Conrad delivers a tour de force one-man performance in "The Waxwork" (originally aired on CBS on May 1, 1956). A postal inspector tries to intercept a bomb before it reaches its intended target in "Fragile: Contents Death" (originally aired on CBS on May 22, 1956), and DeForest Kelley is a talent agent who finds an act to die for in "Flesh Peddler" (originally aired on CBS on August 4, 1957). A defiant man stares down an army of ravenous ants in "Leiningen vs. the Ants" (originally aired on CBS on August 25, 1957), and anybody could be a killer on a train in "The Man Who Murders People" (originally aired on CBS on November 13, 1960).

A carnival blows into a sleepy town, promising to fulfill everyone's desires--but wishes always come with a catch. Can young Will and Jack resist temptation? Can Will's father save them before it's too late? And will the town be free of Mr. Dark and his carnival before the storms come and wipe everything away? Ray Bradbury's dark fantasy of Americana is a little let down in the directing, but Robards and Price's performances ground the battle between good and evil. Starring Jason Robards, Jonathan Price, Dianne Ladd, Pam Grier, Vidal Peterson, and Shawn Carson. Written by Ray Bradbury. Directed by Jack Clayton.

Nat, Cody, and Robert are joined by Angela Fabbrini to take a look at four movies from the 80s that are both interesting to discuss and highlight Disney's identity crisis in the post-Walt era with THE WATCHER IN THE WOODS, SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES, THE BLACK CAULDRON, and RETURN TO OZ.

The animation of the film was produced overseas for Hanna-Barbera by Fil-Cartoons in the Philippines.

Happy Halloween! On this week's special spooky episode, Jeff welcomes Julia back to the show to discuss a few frightningly fun topics, starting with Jeff's review of Disneyland's new Happiest Haunts Tour ("The Villains' Trail"), and we look at the new features for this year and compare it with tours in years past. Then, we discuss Ray Bradbury and his relationship with both Walt Disney and the Disney Company, including a closer look at The Halloween Tree, his book that inspired the Halloween Tree in Frontierland. We also dive into "Something Wicked This Way Comes," Bradbury's cult-ish film produced by Walt Disney Productions in 1983 and we look at its inspiration, the story of its production, its genre (horror? Dark fantasy?), and its place in horror story culture. Finally, we give a quick review of Tron: Ares, while wishing it was doing better at the box office. 

Ray Bradbury had a fascination with themed entertainment since he first attended the 1939 New York World's Fair, but was it merely as a casual observer or did he actually get his hands dirty?We invited noted Ray Bradbury scholar, Dr. Phil Nichols, to talk about it all: Ray's relationship with Walt Disney, his fascination with urban design, his work on EPCOT Center, and even how Ray might very well be responsible for the concept of a food court.We even got to hear about some attraction concepts that Bradbury worked on but were never built.Join us for the straight dope on the brilliant Ray Bradbury!===============================================================If you'd like to listen to any of Phil's terrific podcasts - Bradbury 100 or Science Fiction 101 - you can find information on them here: bradburymedia.co.uk He also has his YouTube channel, Bradbury 101, right here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKLDIIgbxgIsUjaY_4IG90yvfaO9wWIRfThanks for listening!Thanks for listening!We'd love it if you would give us a review on your podcast platform of choice.

It is spooky season when the veil between the material and spiritual worlds becomes thin. Halloween is right around the corner and monsters prowl about the edge of society often taking the forms of something either enticing or frightening. Church music plays backwards and carnivals arrive at 3:00 AM. In this episode of IMBIF, I discuss Ray Bradbury's classic horror story, Something Wicked This Way Comes, with Brad Birzer and Thomas Salerno. A dark carnival arrives at a small midwestern town and two teenage boys are faced with it's terrors and temptations. We talk about Bradbury's beliefs, the nature of the carnival, of fatherhood, and of friendship. Is this a Christian book? What is Mr. Dark? Is he human or something else? What is it about Bradbury's fiction that is so compelling even if we don't share his worldview? All this and more in this exiting episode.

El relato que vamos a escuchar hoy se titula “La ciudad”, se publicó por primera vez en 1950 y es una historia que nos situa frente a un lugar, una ciudad, extraña, silenciosa, donde todo parece estar en reposo… pero en ese silencio se esconde una memoria antigua, un rencor que ha esperado pacientemente durante milenios. - Narración: Juan Carlos Albarracín - Locución Sintonía: Antonio Runa - Música: Epidemic Sound, con licencia - Imagen: Pixabay, con licencia https://pixabay.com/es/illustrations/futurista-ciudad-ciencia-ficci%C3%B3n-8453326/ - Texto: https://lecturia.org/cuentos-y-relatos/ray-bradbury-la-ciudad/23967/ Los Cuentos de la Casa de la Bruja es un podcast semanal de audio-relatos de misterio, ciencia ficción y terror.

In 1970, Avon Books published a landmark anthology, “Science Fiction Hall of Fame,” featuring 26 classic short stories that represent landmark tales of the genre. The stories were voted on by the members of the new (at the time, in the late 1960s) organization Science Fiction Writers of America. In this series, I will be joined by a panel of guests to break down these stories and talk about the authors in the book. In this episode, I am joined by two amazing authors to discuss Cordwainer Smith's 1950 (written in '45) story Scanners Live in Vain. duncan b. barlow is a musician, academic, and author of several amazing books, including his amazing new short story collection Awry. Brian Evenson is the award-winning author of one of my favorite novels, Immobility, and several amazing short story collections. We talk about the weird and cool history of Paul Linebarger, AKA Cordwainer Smith, and the publication history of this story. We go deep into the themes of this amazing story and the author. Yes, the SF Hall of Fame is back in action. We are on track for Ray Bradbury next!

“When you're a kid, you have so little control over things. To be the big entity controlling the smaller entity, whether it's dolls or [toy] soldiers or whatever it is, they do what you tell them to do. They become the story you are making.” — Brian SelznickWe all want to feel in control, mold our lives and experiences, and shape the world into something we can hold. But control is slippery; one moment, it can steady us, the next, it slips away. Brian Selznick—#1 New York Times bestselling author, illustrator, and Caldecott Medal winner—has spent his career playing with this tension. From "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" to "Wonderstruck" and, most recently, "Run Away With Me," Brian believes that it's his job as the author to control the reader's experience, forcing page turns and placing illustrations in a particular order, all while acknowledging that control is ceded to the reader once a book is in their hands.In this episode, Under My Thumb: Brian Selznick on Control, Brian reflects on his lifelong pull toward control in life and art—what drives it, how it shapes his work, and when the need to let go becomes inevitable. He shares his fascination with all things miniature and opens up with unflinching honesty about his complicated relationship with his father, spanning life and loss. He also reveals a formative influence you might not expect, and a most extraordinary afternoon with Ray Bradbury.Settle in for a fascinating, moving episode with one of the great creators of our time.***For his reading challenge, Brian has curated two lists: one exploring queerness in literature over time and the other celebrating the power of the page turn. The latter is about his commitment to books, experimenting with form, and the balance of control between writer and reader.Peruse selected titles and Brian's complete reading challenge for free at thereadingculturepod.com/brian-selznickThis week's Beanstack Featured Librarian is Chelsea Pisani, a rockstar children's librarian at Maple Valley Branch Library in Akron, Ohio. She shares the story of how one student, also with a keen ability to take control, is spreading his passion for reading among his peers by setting up his own book club. Show ChaptersChapter 1: Who Holds the Reins?Chapter 2: Size MattersChapter 3: It's All Under ControlChapter 4: Merwin and LouiseChapter 5: The Martian ChroniclesChapter 6: A Most Extraordinary AfternoonChapter 7: Reading ChallengeChapter 8: Beanstack Featured LibrarianLinksThe Reading CultureThe Reading Culture Newsletter SignupFollow The Reading Culture on Instagram (check here for a video that will show off Brian's incredible miniature collection)Brian SelznickBrian Selznick InstagramWhere the Wild Things AreGuernicaThe BorrowersRay BradburyThe Martian ChroniclesDandelion Wine The Houdini Box (read aloud - check out the page turns)Beanstack resources to build your community's reading cultureJordan Lloyd BookeyAkron Summit Public LibraryCase Study about Akron Summit Public Library and featured librarian Chelsea PisaniHost and Production CreditsHost: Jordan Lloyd BookeyProducers: Mel Webb, Ryan Sutton, and Lower Street MediaScript Editors: Josia Lamberto-Egan, Mel Webb, Ryan Sutton, Jordan Lloyd Bookey

Uh oh! The gang is back talking all things Paul Bartel on another episode of BARTEL ME SOMETHING GOOD and this time not only are we yacking about 1976's HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD, the made-for-a-bet directing debut of both Joe Dante AND Alan Arkush (and featuring Paul Bartel, Dick Miller and Mary Woronov among many other familiar faces), but we also start with a very special episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents from 1985 directed by Tim Burton(!), featuring music by Danny Elfman(!) and starring Griffin Dunne, Laraine Newman and - wait for it - Paul Bartel as a pretentious art critic. It's even.. uh.. sort of an adaptation of a Ray Bradbury story. All that and so much more, so enjoy! The post Episode 290 – Bartel Me Something Good – Hollywood Boulevard (1976) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

We enter the 50s as our journey through the years of Suspense continues with my favorite episodes from 1950. First, Dana Andrews is a cop on the trail of a killer in a radio adaptation of Ray Bradbury's “The Crowd” (originally aired on CBS on September 21, 1950), and Milton Berle is an actor who hopes he can convincingly play a crazy man to escape a death sentence for murder in “Rave Notice” (originally aired on CBS on October 12, 1950). Cary Grant picks the wrong time and place to run out of gas in the classic chiller “On a Country Road” (originally aired on CBS on November 16, 1950), and Ray Milland discovers a plot to bribe a jury - and his wife is kidnapped to keep his silence - in “After the Movies” (originally aired on CBS on December 7, 1950). Finally, Alan Ladd stars in a tale of revenge out of the old west in “A Killing in Abilene” (originally aired on CBS on December 14, 1950).

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Esta vez empezamos rindiendo tributo a un auténtico maestro, que llevó el género de la ciencia-ficción a su máximo exponente y cuyo talento apreciaremos siempre de forma reverencial: RAY BRADBURY. Tras su triste fallecimiento el pasado 5 de junio de 2012, hoy en La órbita de Endor queremos hacer un sentido homenaje a la vida y obra de uno de los más geniales escritores de todos los tiempos. Obras como Fahrenheit 451 o Crónicas Marcianas son ley para un verdadero amante de la ciencia-ficción, pero también es autor de títulos quizá menos populares pero igualmente importantes, como El hombre ilustrado, El vino del estío o El país de octubre entre otros muchos ejemplos memorables. El General Kurtz y Raúl Martín se encargarán de acompañar al director de LODE, Antonio Runa, en un homenaje que preferiríamos hacer en otras circunstancias. Después, despediremos al general y nos quedaremos los demás, para hacer el dossier más furioso y enfurecido que hayamos hecho jamás. Será el momento del plato fuerte. El más fuerte de todos. El dossier de HULK, el increíble, el Goliat Esmeralda que muchos aún siguen llamando La Masa. Haremos un recorrido por su historia dentro del mundo del cómic, un medio en el que el álter-ego de Bruce Banner nos dio algunos de los más grandes momentos a todos los niveles. Habrá alguna mención a las versiones televisivas y cinematográficas, pero está claro que el mejor y más poderoso Hulk, siempre lo hemos encontrado en las viñetas de la Marvel. Hoy, más que nunca, Hulk aplasta. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Zander was the executive director of The Long Now Foundation, dedicated to long term thinking. He also helped build their library, a book club for the end of the world, with all the titles we would want to rebuild civilization, if needed. He is one of the brains behind the 10,000-Year Clock, designed to tick off the years, and chime the centuries. He's now co-creating the future of the web at Automattic. He and his team are bringing a library to Black Rock City, to the World's Fair pavilion under The Man. It's a refreshing opposite. Like his theme camp inside a refrigerator truck NOT being hot, this library is about NOT being burnt. It's an ephemeral manual for civilization. We the participants will choose what books to save from burning.Zander shares stories on the effects of books, websites, and rituals, as well as Burning Man's past, present, and future.This episode is on YouTube here.rosefutures.comBRC Honoraria Art (Burning Man Journal)A group for those who want to participate (Facebook)https://longnow.orgA Pavilion for Tomorrow Today (Burning Man Journal)wikipedia.org/Clock_of_the_Long_NowKevin Kelly: Optimists Create the Future (Burning Man LIVE)Photo by Brendon Hall LIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG
