Listen Later

Bradbury 100 is back with a new batch of episodes! This time: an interview with Orty Ortwein, author of THE FIRST GEEKS, which examines the early days of organised science fiction fandom. And guess who was there? Ray Bradbury, of course. At around eighteen years of age, he joined the Los Angeles chapter of the Science Fiction League, and became firm friends with animator Ray Harryhausen and super-fan Forry Ackerman.
