Ray Bradbury
(1920 – 2012)

Ray Bradbury

Science Fiction Programs

A Young Ray BradburyRay came a long way from his childhood dreams of becoming a magician in Waukegan, Illinois (the town which as an inspiration for his stories, referred to as "Greentown, Illinois – the safe, home space in many of his writings). After writing his first stories on butcher paper, moving to Hollywood, and star-spotting as a teenager on rollerskates, Ray made his first dough as a writer for selling a joke to his new friend, George Burns. Then he hit the science fiction magazines with his short stories, beginning with "Hollerbochen's Dilemma, which appeared in Imagination in 1938. He even began his own magazine a year later, Futuria Fantasia, which mostly contained his own writing. It lasted four issues. Then, in 1941, the money started tinkling in with his first paying short story, "Pendulum, in Super Science Stories.

Ray Bradbury and catHe improved his writing style and found his voice with his 1942 short story, "The Lake." After launching into full-time writing, he married and began his family. His popularity skyrocketed years later, in 1950, when he wrote The Martian Chronicles. Through his life, Ray Bradbury was a very accomplished writer. Amongst his science fiction stories, he also accomplished two musicals, produced some of his own novels, won numerous literary awards, had many of his works made into successful movies, designed a spaceship ride for Disney, and helped engineer rapid transit systems.

This collection includes many short stories and novels that have been made into old time radio shows, some of which he wrote specifically for the programs. His stories appeared numerous times on such classic shows as CBS Radio Workshop, Escape, Suspense, Dimension X, and X Minus One.

    I've been ordering for awhile and find your product perfect for my use. Your depth of shows allow me to get a true listen to how it must have sounded in the living room of post WWII homes in America. The true sound actually is captured in these mp3s. X Minus One is by far the best, IMHO. And Bradbury is so much more that just Star Trek. There is only one sad note about your work. And that is, you are pulling from a finite pool of shows. When you have done them all.... you will be missed! Excellent work!
