Whaddya know, Ray Bradbury is now a Famous Author!
Here's an interview from the series Day at Night, which was recorded in 1974. Bradbury refers to Something Wicked This Way Comes (1962) as being published "eight or nine years ago", but he was a couple of years off as the actual airdate of the interview was 21 January 1974). It has many of the familiar interview questions and Bradbury anecdotes, but one or two novelties such as the opening question about fantasy in relation to fantasising.
Incidentally, the whole aechive of Day at Night is online at CUNY-TV, and includes an amazing roster of interviewees.

Great interview that has stood the test of time. I was a lucky young reporter
who got to hang out with Ray in the 1960s. I wrote an unauthorized biography
of him, RAY BRADBURY UNCENSORED, still available on the Internet. You can read the Introduction and Chapter 1 free. Another chapter has his play producer Charles Smith's second grade Gardner School daughter, Bailey Smith,
interviewing Ray in his office that is another classic interview. Thank you
Phil Nichols for making this long ago interview available on the Internet!
