RUSC MAILING

Written by Ned Norris

I'm thrilled to share that we’re about to embark on a captivating journey through the imaginative realms of Ray Bradbury, a master storyteller whose pen created some of the most enduring tales in speculative fiction many of which were featured in the golden age of radio on series such as Suspense and Dimension X. However, we are focusing on a series while not strictly from the Golden Age is still over forty years old!

Back in 1984, the magic of Bradbury was brought to life in a wonderful anthology series called Bradbury Thirteen. It was created by the talented Michael McDonough and took listeners on an enchanting audio adventure, showcasing Bradbury’s stories through a full-cast dramatization.

Each of the 13 episodes transported us to fantastical worlds, revealing the intricate complexities of the human experience. From the chilling echoes of fate in “A Sound of Thunder” to the poignant exploration of love in “The Veldt,” every tale is a heartfelt blend of whimsy and depth.

The series featured a rotating cast of remarkable actors, including the unforgettable Paul Frees, whose iconic narration set the stage for each story, while the soothing scores from Greg Hansen and Roger Hoffman elevated our listening experience. The whole production is exceptional quality.

And now, here’s the exciting part—over the coming days and into June, we’ll be adding the complete series to RUSC! Plus, I’ll be shining a light on more of Ray Bradbury’s remarkable works from during the Golden Age of Radio. So keep your ears perked and your imaginations ready!

Join me as we celebrate the timeless relevance of storytelling and the mesmerizing art of audio. I can’t wait to share this journey with you and relive the magic of Ray Bradbury’s enchanting tales together!

See you on the inside,
