Podcasts about Ray Bradbury

Losers Jenn Adams, Rachel Reeves, and Ana Marie Cox check into Bates Motel on a rainy night to discuss Robert Bloch's Psycho, the 1959 best-selling novel that Alfred Hitchcock turned iconic the following year for Universal Pictures. Danse Macabre is a recurring feature of The Losers' Club that journeys through all the books that influenced Stephen King. (You know, as he listed in 1981's Danse Macabre. Ahem, hence the name of this series.) In the past, we've catalogued Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, William Golding's Lord of the Flies, Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes, Peter Straub's Ghost Story, and Jay Anson's The Amityville Horror.

Los libros han sido siempre peligrosos para los poderes que gobiernan este mundo. La novela de Ray Bradbury, "Fahrenheit 451", predice ya en 1953 el día en que ya sólo leamos los titulares manipulados de la información que nos proporcionan las redes. El autor de "Crónicas marcianas" (1950) nos advierte sobre cómo la creciente polarización hará que no veamos que dos posibles posturas sobre cualquier tema, Todo se acaba simplificando en estar a favor o en contra de algo. Sin los libros, no habrá lugar para la complejidad. Seremos cada vez más manipulables. En este programa de radio "Al Trasluz" escuchamos fragmentos del libro de Bradbury, leídos por Eugenio Barona y escenas de la película que hizo el director francés François Truffaut en 1966 con el conflictivo actor austriaco Oskar Werner y la actriz inglesa Julie Christie, cuando acababa de hacer "Doctor Zhivago" en España. Oímos canciones sobre los libros del cubano Silvio Rodríguez (Sin hijo, ni árbol, ni libro) y el ahora fallecido Luis Eduardo Aute (Todo está en los libros). Los comentarios de José de Segovia son sobre la banda sonora original de la película que hizo Bernard Herrmann. La edición y realización técnica es de Daniel Panduro.

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.

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

Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. This season, we are only looking at banned and controversial texts. In our seventieth episode, Ray Bradbury's literary-based dystopia, Fahrenheit 451 (1953), we get one step closer to EGOT-ing, see more of Abby's French-Canadian Vermonter roots, process Daniel's early cinema trauma, and discuss some scholastic terms: fridging, Bowlderisation, and Futurismo.Cover art © Catherine Wu.Episode Theme: Tchaikovsky, 'Valse Sentimental' by Clara Rockmore on theramin.

Ray Bradbury, the legendary author who passed away in 2012, sat down for an interview with Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff in 1992 at his home in Los Angeles. Though called a science fiction or fantasy writer, Ray Bradbury spanned all genres, from poetry to mystery to mainstream fiction. Among his works include The Martian Chronicles, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Farenheit 451 and The Illustrated Man. This interview was digitized and re-edited by Richard Wolinsky in 2020 and first posted on July 26, 2020, The post The Probabilities Archive: Ray Bradbury (1920-2012), Grandmaster of Science Fiction and Fantasy, 1992 appeared first on KPFA.

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

Real Life Devon Gone again, off doing what families do. Probably eating responsibly and not playing Magic with middle schoolers. We'll get a full download when he returns from the wilds of familial bonding. Steven Steven melted in Palm Springs last weekend. Like, cartoon puddle of clothes and glasses melted. It hit 112°F, and not in the fun "desert dry heat" way—it was more like a hairdryer set to regret. But he survived the heat and a surprise 65th birthday party for his mother-in-law. (Note: surprise party for a 65-year-old in 112-degree weather? Bold.) To escape the heat and socializing, Steven brought along Timeline by Michael Crichton, tore through the whole thing, and now he won't stop recommending it. According to him, it's “a pleasant, rollicking adventure of death and destruction in the Middle Ages.” Classic beach read, if your beach has trebuchets. Ben Ben relived his childhood glory this week by annihilating two 12-year-olds at Magic: The Gathering. Old deck, newer rules, zero mercy. He's still basking in the smug warmth of that victory and considering building a commemorative statue of himself out of old booster packs. In nerdier news, Ben continues to experiment with Bazzite OS, a Linux distro that somehow convinced Forza Horizon 5 to run smoothly. He also tried out Wheel World, a cell-shaded, bike-themed Zelda-like that nobody asked for, but he's glad it exists. Streaming from PC to handheld? He recommends: Install Sunshine on your PC Install Moonlight on your handheld device Plug in with Ethernet if you can Pray to the latency gods It's working so far. Maybe this is the future. Maybe this is now. Future or Now Ben brought in a fascinating bit of anti-AI-fakery this week. Researchers at Cornell have developed a way to embed invisible “codes” into light, which act as hidden watermarks in videos. Basically: lighting at press conferences, buildings, or even Zoom calls could carry encrypted signals that make it easy to verify video authenticity later. It's subtle, elegant, and extremely cyberpunk. The best part? You won't notice the difference. But your editing software will. Check it out:

Isaac Asimov, 1969. Creative Commons Isaac Asimov (1920-1992), in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded in New York City on August 10, 1983. Isaac Asimov, who died at the age of 72 in 1992, was considered, along with Ray Bradbury and Robert Heinlein, one of the three great masters of American science fiction in the 20th century. Isaac Asimov began sending in stories and getting published in science fiction magazines at the age of nineteen, and at the age of 21, with the publication of the short story “Nightfall” in John W. Campbell's Astounding Stories magazine. moved into the first ranks of science fiction writers. That status was confirmed a year later with the publication of the short story, “Foundation,” later renamed “The Encyclopedists,” which would be the first of several short stories and novellas republished as the three volumes of the Foundation trilogy. In the 1940s, he turned to a series of stories focused on robots, which became the collection I Robot and then in the 1950s turned to novels, including Pebble in the Sky, The Caves of Steel and The End of Eternity. Along the way, through his entire career, he wrote dozens of non-fiction books on a wide variety of topics, along with young adult novels, and mystery novels and short stories. In the end, the number of books he wrote or edited exceeded 500, not counting separate short stories and articles. This interview was conducted in a New York City bookstore Asimov was visiting to sign copies of a new collection, The Union Club Mysteries, a year after his return to the world of the Foundation trilogy, Foundation's Edge, was published. Because his two –volume autobiography had come out a couple of years earlier and dealt with the plots and themes of his fiction, the interview focused instead on his life as a writer and his work with editors and publishers. A miniseries adaptation of the Foundation Trilogy is now in its third season on Apple+. This podcast was originally posted August 22, 2021. The post The Probabilities Archive: Isaac Asimov (1920-1992), Science Fiction Grandmaster, 1983 appeared first on KPFA.

Una distopia donde los libros son objeto de persecusión, los pensamientos son controlados y quien se atreva a desafiarlos corre peligro. Una lectura que no dejará de entretenerte, cautivarte y mantenerte en suspenso todo el tiempo.Libro: Fahrenheit 451 de Ray Bradbury

Real Life Ben spent the week playing nurse, but at least it was a summer cold—infinitely easier than juggling tissues and PTO requests during the school year. The only upside to a sick kid when the sun's out? More cartoons, fewer emails. Hearing Ben wiping noses and handing out popsicles, Steven got nostalgic about Scrubs. Remember Scrubs? Wholesome chaos. Heartfelt weirdness. Probably due for a chaotic Gen Z reboot starring TikTok doctors and JD's ghost AI. Devon was out of town. No details, just gone. Like a Vulcan on shore leave or a cowboy riding off into a logical sunset. We assume he's fine. Or at least reading a very dense novel. Steven went full social butterfly with a jam-packed weekend featuring a wedding and a birthday party. Somehow in between the formal wear and paper plates, he managed to catch Fantastic Four: First Steps. And? He says it's the best Fantastic Four movie he's ever seen. Not necessarily the best Marvel movie, but undeniably its own thing: scientists-turned-superheroes faced with a moral conundrum, wrapped in bright tones and a vibe that says hope isn't dead, it's just been on vacation. Earth 828 (a sweet nod to Jack Kirby's birthday) plays host to a story that takes a deliberate break from the usual “everything is pain” comic fare. Also, there's now a universe where Matt Shakman didn't make Fantastic Four, but instead gifted us a cheerful, boldly optimistic fourth Kelvin Star Trek movie. It lives only in our dreams and this deeply bittersweet TrekMovie article. Sigh. Future or Now Ben, our resident Trekspert, has bucketload of Star Trek news from San Diego Comic-Con: Starfleet Academy got a first trailer, and introduced us to the U.S.S. Athena. George Takei and Tim Russ are teaming up in the Khan audio series, where we'll get to hear Sulu and Tuvok in action. (We assume Tim Russ will sigh at Takei at least once.) Strange New Worlds Season 4 teased a bold new puppet frontier? Yep. Puppets. And then there's the Gwarm. What is a Gwarm, you ask? It's a Star Wars thing, and before you know it, Ben and Steven are back in the Star Wars vs. Star Trek sandbox, flinging references like action figures. (We don't stop them. It's too entertaining.) Meanwhile, Steven was also reading science headlines between existential sighs. The latest? Allegro-FM just pushed material science forward by enabling simulations 1,000 times larger than previous ones. That's like going from Tinker Toys to a Dyson Sphere. Or from The Pedestrian to a full Black Mirror season. Link Book Club This week, we read The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury. It's eerie how much this story hits in 2025. A man simply walking at night in Los Angeles gets stopped by an automated police car because being outside is just too suspicious. It's based on Bradbury's real address, and it feels uncomfortably like reality. Mausoleum houses, ghostly TV glow, no sidewalks—just suburban stillness and surveillance. If All Summer in a Day is melancholy, this one's… mournful. Next week we're sticking with Bradbury and reading All Summer in a Day. Rain, Venus, longing, and memory. If The Pedestrian feels like now, All Summer feels like childhood—brief, beautiful, and barely remembered. You can read it here or watch this version that captures the heartbreak with just the right number of slow pans and sad violins. That's it for this week.

Ray Bradbury | Mollé Mystery Theater || A Killer, Come Back To Me || May 17, 1946Plot: A gun moll changes a young punk into an experienced bank robber...or at least his double. This is a modern hard-boiled adventure written by Ray Bradbury. It is the story of Johnny Broadman a killer who suffers delusions of grandeur who thought he was beyond the law. It is a story that demonstrates once again that a career in crime is bitter and short.: : : : :My other podcast channels include: MYSTERY x SUSPENSE -- DRAMA X THEATER -- COMEDY x FUNNY HA HA -- VARIETY X ARMED FORCES -- THE COMPLETE ORSON WELLES .Subscribing is free and you'll receive new post notifications.

Sc Fi Gothic Mystery

A hugely talented emerging singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and voiceover artist with a passion for lyricism, song-crafting and storytelling, Kildare native Ross A.'s singles to date, 'Some Other Time, Maybe', 'Flowing To You, Flowing Through' 'Be OK' and 'Heartland Girl' personify his evolution into an act who creates a world in which its listener can become submerged. Formerly Ross Breen, the Irish musician continues to cultivate his reputation as a respected songwriter through extensive radio coverage of his work, TV appearances and consistent presence on the live scene and festival circuit (Electric Picnic, Body and Soul, Indiependence). Vestiges is a weighty, moody song which shifts from loose, sparse arrangement at the track's outset, into a tight groove where drums and bass lock in with piano before a stirring string arrangement by Cormac Curran (John Grant, Villagers, Lisa Hannigan) lifts the piece further towards its ethereal finale, its soundscape opening out into a wide expanse along the way. In tandem with Ross A.'s freeform style of piano playing on Vestiges, its lyrics, influenced by the Ray Bradbury novel, ‘Something Wicked This Way Comes', are abstract and impressionistic.

Today we are presenting a rare, previously unbroadcast recording of a Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters (PPB) luncheon from November 15, 1974, honoring renowned radio writer and director Norman Corwin. This two-hour recording features speeches and anecdotes from numerous prominent figures in radio, television, and film, such as Hans Conried, Lynn Murray, Perry Lafferty, Elliot Lewis, Ray Bradbury, Stan Freberg, and William Shatner, all celebrating Corwin's influence and the "golden age of radio." The episode concludes with Corwin's acceptance speech and his plea for a revival of live radio drama.

Real Life This week, Steven finally found a superhero movie that didn't make him want to throw his popcorn at the screen. Superman (2025) has arrived, and according to him, it's the best take we've had on the character in years. No origin story nonsense, just straight into Supes doing good and being good. James Gunn gets it—Superman is an immigrant, a boy scout, and a damn firefighter (not a cop). The moral core is there, the cape looks good, and apparently, if you hate it, it's because it's “woke”? Whatever. Steven liked it. You probably will too. Meanwhile, Devon has been dodging storms, not floods. He lives far from the Texas chaos but has had his fair share of wet weekends. That hasn't stopped him from grinding away at backyard renovations. Fake grass is coming soon. In the process, he's tearing out ivy and ground brush—bad news for copperhead snakes, which are venomous, and good news for anyone walking around barefoot. Speaking of venom: Ben brings us the delightful fact that some birds are venomous. No, really. There are birds that store toxins from insects and plants and use them to defend themselves. The pitohui says hi. Nature is weird. More bird venom facts here. Devon also dove into evolution this week, thanks to a Hank Green video about the great leap from water to land. Turns out the hardest problem evolution ever solved might just be how to turn gilled swimmers into four-limbed land mammals. Spoiler alert: it involves lungs, fins, and a lot of time. Watch the video here. Ben, when not thinking about venomous birds, asked an important question: What do people do for fun in Palmdale? The answer, apparently, is “hang out near electrical poles.” He also recommends the board game The Red Dragon Inn for those nights when you're too tired to fight dragons and just want to drink with them instead. Game info here. Future or Now Only Steven showed up for this segment, and he brought ancient lion maulings. A new article from ScienceDaily describes a skeleton found in a Roman cemetery in York—with bite marks matching a lion's jaw. It's our first archaeological evidence of gladiator-style combat between a human and a lion, which is equal parts horrifying and fascinating. Steven points out that if curses were real, this would be prime material—digging up gladiator graves seems like an express ticket to ghost lion attacks. Book Club This week, we read The Last Question by Isaac Asimov, a story about entropy, immortality, the heat death of the universe, and one computer's ongoing existential crisis. Devon raises a solid point: the story's final punch line hits different if you grew up with the Judeo-Christian idea of divine creation. If not? It still works, but maybe not quite the same way. You could easily sub in other creation myths—or just throw in some Terminators and call it a sci-fi remix. Ben had Siri read him the story aloud via Mobile Safari and recommends the experience. Read it here or watch this animated version. Next week: There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury, a classic tale of loneliness, technology, and automatic breakfast machines still flipping eggs long after humanity is gone. You can read the story here or listen to a reading. Oh, and if you missed it, Captain Kirk is coming back—sort of. He's being resurrected for Star Trek: The Last Starship, a new comic set in the far future. We have thoughts. Mostly confused ones.

MONSTER PARTY INVADES THE V.I.P. SECTION! A beloved past guest returns to help us rub virtual elbows with some of showbiz's best and brightest! Lay down the red carpet and brace yourselves as MONSTER PARTY presents… JOHN STANLEY'S CELEBRITY ONSLAUGHT!!! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, have not made a secret of their love for JOHN STANLEY! From 1979 to 1984, John was the host of the San Francisco Bay Area TV series, CREATURE FEATURES, taking over from legendary first host, BOB WILKENS. Since that time, he has gone on to author many books, including several editions of THE CREATURE FEATURES MOVIE GUIDE, THE GANG THAT SHOT UP HOLLYWOOD, THE NOVELS “WORLD WAR III (AKA NAPALM SUNDAY)” AND “BOGART 48,” THE AUTOBOIGRAPHICAL “I WAS A TV HORROR HOST,” and the recent follow-up to that classic tome, “THE CAREER THAT DRIPPED WITH HORROR.” When it comes to films, John directed the love letter to the horror genre, “NIGHTMARE IN BLOOD,” as well as producing many other movies, documentaries, music videos, and shorts. During his time as the host of CREATURE FEATURES and his 33-year stint as an entertainment writer for the SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, John Stanley had the dream job of interviewing countless (unless you count them) actors, filmmakers, writers, and other celebrities. We're talkin' folks like THE CAST OF STAR WARS, IRWIN ALLEN, RIDLEY SCOTT, LEONARD NIMOY, HARLAN ELLISON, FRANK GORSHIN, ADAM WEST, STEPHEN KING, JAMES STEWART, CHUCK NORRIS, MAX VON SYDOW, RAY HARRYHAUSEN, NICHOLAS MEYER, ROBERT BLOCH, ROGER CORMAN, CLINT EASTWOOD, CHRISTOPHER LEE, RAY BRADBURY, RODDY MCDOWALL, CHRISTOPHER REEEVE, BRUCE LEE, and MANY more! And needless to say (but hell, we're gonna say it), John has a treasure trove of up-close and personal anecdotes to share. If you'd like a fantastic sample of some of John Stanley's classic CREATURE FEATURES interviews, please check out his YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@CreatureFeatures80 LONG LIVE JOHN STANLEY AND CREATURE FEATURES!  

Emily is not prepared to know if this movie is the origination of the expression "smart (phone/house/etc)", so we didn't factcheck it. But it could be!

Is this Disney Channel Original Movie referencing Ray Bradbury? It's impossible to know, but spoiler alert: we do eventually figure out who the hot newspaper lady is!

A man becomes terrifyingly obsessed with the idea that his own skeleton is a separate, sinister being — one that's trying to kill him.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

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.

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.

Add some behaviorally troubled children imagining bloodthirsty lions into the mix, and you have the setup for Ray Bradbury's The Veldt. In a dystopian tale that would make an excellent episode of Black Mirror, Bradbury explores the pitfalls of tech that robs humanity of purpose. The guys discuss and analyze the story's plot, characters, and more in this week's rerelease.
