Bradbury 100 - Episode 61 - Ray Bradbury and Radio's SUSPENSE!

  • Summary

  • Here's another new episode of my Bradbury 100 podcast. This time, I look at the early years of Ray Bradbury's professional career, which saw him not only mastering the craft of short story writing and putting together his first book, but branching out into media - in particular, getting his stories and scripts onto national radio shows such as CBS's SUSPENSE. Over a span of a dozen years, Suspense produced no fewer than eleven shows based on Bradbury stories, with some of the stories being produced multiple times. I argue that this early media presence - which included a number of stories previously unpublished - helped cement Bradbury's growing popularity and reputation. I have a playlist of full versions of all of Bradbury's SUSPENSE episodes in the shownotes on my website at https://bradburymedia.blogspot.com/2025/01/ray-bradbury-on-radio-suspense.html
