New Podcast Episode: Chronological Bradbury 1944 (part 1)

Time for another podcast episode - and it's another in my "Chronological Bradbury" strand, where I work through Ray Bradbury's stories in the order they were published.

This time, we reach the year 1944, which sees Ray publishing "The Lake" - which he always said was the first "good" story that he ever wrote. It's also the year of "I, Rocket", the story which nabbed him a posthumous Retro Hugo Award for best short story of 1944.

There are too many stories from 1944 for me to cover in a single episode, so you can expect THREE episodes for the year in total. Here are the stories in this episode, with links to the original magazine appearances of all of them:

  1. The Sea Shell
  2. Reunion
  3. The Monster Maker
  4. I, Rocket
  5. The Lake
  6. Morgue Ship
  7. There Was An Old Woman

 

As always, you can grab the episode using your podcast app of choice, or find it using any of the platforms listed at the bottom of this page - or play it right here. Enjoy!

New Podcast Episode: Chronological Bradbury 1943 (continued)

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. Here are the stories and links:

In the following year (1944), Ray will publish a total of nineteen stories. That's a lot of stories, but he still won't have reached his peak of busy-ness!

Here's the new pod - or you can find it in your podcast app of choice. As always, there's a list of direct links to the pod on various platforms down below.
