Every evening after the sun goes down I go out for a walk with my earphones on listening to short stories. This Bradbury 13 series was my favourite and I couldnt wait to go out and listen to it. Unfortunately, this was the last story in the series for me, so the ending as they were slowly fading away into the unknown left me in tears. Ray Bradbury became one of my favourite authors. Thank you so much for posting these and making my evening walks the best parts of my days.
First time hearing this..I came across it after someone mentioned it in a video about the game Outer Wilds and i'm glad I did. It's so intriguing, scary and sad and it scratches one of those "what if" scenarios iv'e always had about space.
I think this radio play was recorded by geniuses. When I listen to this it feels like I'm up their with them, just one of the many advantages of radio over television.
After all these years, I have finally found this recording! My dad introduced me to Ray Bradbury with recordings like this one. This one was on a cassette tape. I think Here There Be Tygers was on the other side. I lost my dad to cancer last year. Having this is like he's visiting. Gods, I miss him so. Thank you so much for posting this!
Thank you for sharing that. My father passed away from cancer several years ago. He and I also shared a love for these shows. He collected all of the Amos and Andy shows. So glad to have those memories.
1975 & 1976, memories of listening to these radio shows late on Friday nights on the way home for the weekend to Charleston, West Virginia from Camp LeJeune, North Carolina, while I was in the Marine Corps.
our teacher made us listen to this for one of our final examns in highschool. Its funny how at the beginning, I thought I was going to hate this story... now its one of the only things I still remember from that class. Amazing story.
Meeting Ray in 1994 was full circle for this aging male...silver age comics and HEAVY doses of Bradbury help me make it through childhood. This is as vivid as it gets...
I was just introduced to this at scout camp and I really got into this and to Rico if you see this thanks man and keep on doing you, you'll go far in life man and maybe change the world -Paul H.
Here There Be Tygers is coming soon. I'll have the whole series up soon, I've been posting these in their original broadcast order. This one was #12 in the series.
The Edge of Nightfall thanks for posting these. I enjoyed them as a kid and have played these for my son. Even in this era of RU-vid he really gets into these and enjoys them. Shows you how well they were made.
dude, you rock. I was just thinking of putting these up. I've got the Bradbury collection on audio cassette I bought back in 1995. 6 different cassettes, 12 stories. Thank you for posting them
Well, podcast's became a thing a decade and a half after this series was made, so the golden age of radio did return after a fashion. Not sure what this commented meant by bringing up the question only five years ago, but it would have been an apt thing to say elsewhere in the timeline.
Thank you for your comment. I came across these only recently and have really enjoyed listening to them. I hope to get the entire series on my channel real soon.
...Note to self - email/text NASA and other space agencies and ask them whether they are developing small homing devices combined with tiny boosters of sufficient strength to pull individual astronauts or a group of stranded or flung off into nearby space astronauts together, or back to any still viable portions of a ship...
Something very dubious about the fact that Edge of Nightfall put all the episodes of Bradbury 13 into a playlist... and this story, about a spaceship full of doomed men grappling with the utter inevitability of their impending death, comes immediately after "There Was an Old Woman", in which Aunt Tildy simply and successfully refuses to die.
It occurs to me that Applegate had to have taken some sort of very violent physical action, such as kicking or swinging his oxygen cylinder, in order to generate enough force to smash Stimpson's faceplate and mercy-kill him. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so by hitting Stimpson's helmet, he pushed himself off his original trajectory, and thus directly caused himself to move into the cloud-kaleidoscope. Probably the first selfless act in his entire life, and it led to him "going out in style". Talk about instant karma.
awesome work man! I also like bradbury :) let me present to you my work about the novel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c4JgnebYRas.html
