    Bradbury 100 - Episode 55 - Chronological Bradbury 1942
    Jan 17 2024
    In my occasional series of "Chronological Bradbury" episodes, we reach the year 1942. This was Ray Bradbury's first full year as a professional writer, and the year he broke through to two of the leading science fiction and fantasy pulp magazines: Astounding Science Fiction, and Weird Tales. So it's an important year, although he only published two stories in that year. For full shownotes, visit my website: www.bradburymedia.co.uk

    Bradbury 100 - Episode 53 - Ray's Fanzine, Futuria Fantasia
    Dec 8 2023
    In this new episode of Bradbury 100, I explore FUTURIA FANTASIA - the fanzine that Ray Bradbury produced when he was a teenage science fiction fan. The first issue of Futuria Fantasia, published when Ray was eighteen years old, catches him just before he heads off to New York for the first-ever World Science Fiction Convention. In that first issue, he is very much focused on "Tecnhnocracy", a movement which promised to turn science fiction into political reality.

    Bradbury 100 - Episode 50 - Chronological Bradbury: 1940
    Oct 28 2023
    Welcome to the FIFTIETH episode of Bradbury 100! This is another episode in my "Chronological Bradbury" strand - where I go through Ray Bradbury's publishing history in order. We've reached the year 1940, when Ray turned 20. It's a year which sees him getting no fewer than nine pieces of fiction published in amateur magazines. He's still a year away from his first professional sale (which will come in 1941), but 1940 shows him rapidly developing his plotting, characterisation, and use of language.

    Bradbury 100 - Episode 49 - Reviewing Ray Bradbury
    Oct 15 2023
    This time on Bradbury 100 I talk about The New Ray Bradbury Review, the online journal I edit on behalf of the Ray Bradbury Center. Specifically, I talk about the origins of the journal - which stretch way back to 1952, and William F. Nolan's original fan publication, called simply "Ray Bradbury Review". I also pay tribute to Nolan as the first person to really study Ray's work, and I discuss his ongoing engagement with Ray as both a friend and a colleague.
