If it's Saturday (and it is), it must be time for another episode of my podcast Bradbury 100.
We're up to episode 13, if you can believe it!
This week, a discussion of storytelling and "the oral tradition", which naturally leads me to talk about Ray Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451.
All of which is preamble for my interview with Megan Wells, a professional storyteller. Now, you may have heard me refer to Ray Bradbury as a storyteller, but that's a different thing. Megan stands (or sometimes sits) before an audience and will literally tell them a story. Not read, tell.
In the interview, Megan explains the differences, from the point of view of both the performer and the audience.

Megan Wells' website has full details of her repertoire.
You can also follow Megan on her Megan Wells Tells Facebook page.
I wrote a book chapter about Fahrenheit 451 being adapted to different media. It includes a bit more discussion of David Calcutt's radio play.
