The Bradbury Chronicles is a celebration of the life and work of science-fiction master Ray Bradbury. It is also an ode to the spoken word, an exploration of the art and joy of storytelling. Bradbury's prose has a poetry and musicality that just begs to be read out loud, so that's what I will be doing. Stick me in your ears (if that's not too weird, it is isn't it??) and enjoy the flow of Bradbury's words.

This month's episode is a spring gift called The April Witch. Join me as I read this fantasy tale and explore themes of consent in literature, discuss the potential film adaptation of Bradbury's fix-up novel From the Dust Returned , and give you some info about upcoming episodes (featuring some exciting Neil Gaiman/special guest related news).

Let me know what you thought of this story?

Whatever your thoughts you can now share them in the new Bradbury Chronicles Forum, so join the chat today...

For April's episode it felt appropriate to cover The April Witch. And sometime in May or June I have something special planned, so stay tuned to find out more.
