    Bradbury 100 - episode 68 - Chronological Bradbury 1943 (continued)
    Jul 10 2025
    Here's another new podcast episode, picking up the "Chronological Bradbury" thread once more, with the remaining Ray Bradbury stories which were first published in the latter part of 1943. I cover five stories in this episode, completing the total of eleven stories Ray published in that year. All of the stories are available online within archived copies of the original pulp magazines. The stories are: Doodad (Astounding, September 1943) And Watch the Fountains (Astounding, September 1943) Promotion to Satellite (Thrilling Wonder Stories, fall 1943) The Ducker (Weird Tales, November 1943) King of the Gray Spaces (aka R is for Rocket) (Famous Fantastic Mysteries, December 1943) If you visit my website for the shownotes, you'll find direct links to the stories as they appeared in the original pulp magazines: https://bradburymedia.blogspot.com/2025/07/heres-another-new-podcast-episode.html

    Bradbury 100 - episode 67 - "The Wind"

    This episode of the Bradbury 100 podcast is something of a partner to the last episode where I looked at Ray Bradbury's stories from the year 1943. You may recall I talked about "The Wind". Well, in this episode, I look at that story in more detail - and give a reading of the entire, original version. What you will hear is the first-ever published version of the story, taken from Weird Tales magazine. This is before Ray re-wrote it for inclusion in his first book, Dark Carnival (1947). Incidentally, the revised version of "The Wind" is the version you will find in all of Ray's books. After that Weird Tales appearance, Ray didn't give the original version any further outings. Comparing the two versions is quite fun, and something of a lesson in how to improve a story by re-writing. After I've read the story, I give a comparison of the two versions. If you want to read the story for yourself, you can find the Weird Tales issue online, here: https://archive.org/details/Weird_Tales_v36n10_1943-03_ATLPM-Sas/page/n3/mode/2up Next time: I cover the rest of Ray's stories from 1943!

    Bradbury 100 - episode 66 - Chronological Bradbury 1943
    Jun 12 2025
    Bradbury 100 podcast time! And it's another of my "Chronological Bradbury" series, this time covering the year 1943. This is the year when Ray broke all his previous records, by having no fewer than eleven stories published in professional magazines - in contrast to the mere two published in 1942. This is also the year that Ray became 23 years old. It's remarkable to me that a 22-year-old could write a story like "The Wind", "The Crowd" or "The Scythe". All three of these classics were published before his 23rd birthday. To be fair, not every Bradbury story of 1943 is a timeless classic. Some of them are quite pulpy! But all of them are interesting. In this episode, I cover roughly half of 1943, and I'll cover the remainder of the year in a future episode. The stories I feature this time are: The Piper (Thrilling Wonder Stories, February 1943) The Wind (Weird Tales, March 1943) Gabriel's Horn (co-written with Henry Hasse (Captain Future, Spring 1943)) Subterfuge (Astonishing Stories, April 1943) The Crowd (Weird Tales, May 1943) The Scythe (Weird Tales, July 1943) For links and more detail, check out the shownotes at https://bradburymedia.blogspot.com/2025/06/new-podcast-episode-chronological.html
