Guesting on Podcasts

As well as producing my own podcasts (Bradbury 100 and Science Fiction 101), I've guested on quite a few pods and radio shows over the years. But it occurred to me that I don't have one place where all those appearances are gathered together.

Until now.

So here's all the audio shows which have been kind enough to invite me on, listed in sort-of chronological order. I do hope I haven't missed any...

If you have a podcast or radio show which would benefit from my dulcet tones discussing Ray Bradbury, science fiction, screenwriting, film, TV, radio drama, or related topics, please get in touch!

New Podcast Episode - Zen in the Art of Writing

 Time for another new episode of my audio podcast, Bradbury 100.

This time I explore Ray's essay collection Zen in the Art of Writing. This gathers together his thoughts on the writing process - including his belief in allowing the unconscious mind to play the leading part in generating stories - with his recollections of writing his most famous works.

I'm joined via Zoom by Kim and Renee, whose wonderful Words to Write By podcast is putting all those how-to-write books to the test. They recently went chapter by chapter through Zen in the Art of Writing, and found much to admire in Ray's advice to writers.

I hit a couple of snags with the audio when putting this episode together, so I apologise for some variation in the sound quality.

Have you ever tried following Ray Bradbury's writing advice? If so, how did it go? Post a comment below to let me know!
