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 very special crossover (who doesn't love a great mash-up?) where I am joined by Glenn McDorman, host of Hanging Out With the Dream King: A Neil Gaiman Podcast. Using Gaiman's homage to Bradbury, October in the Chair, as a jumping-off point we discuss Bradbury's influence on other authors, the short story form, and what makes Bradbury and Gaiman such masters of the short story. 

It was a pleasure and honour to spend time with Glenn. We met a few years back over a shared love of Star Trek and I have followed his work ever since. He hosts several shows alongside his team of co-hosts and their work is always thoughtful, and literary and approaches its subjects with a sense of joy and awe, and I highly recommend you check out his podcasts at www.claytemplemedia.com. You can also follow him on social media. Twitter @ClaytempleMedia @glmcdorman
