CBC Radio One - Writers And CompanyCBC Radio One’s Writers & Company podcast has an interview with and a short story by J.G Ballard. In the terrific interview, by Eleanor Wachtel, we learn much of Ballard’s history, including how he found Science Fiction (it was at RCAF Station Moose Jaw)! After the interview is a complete SF short story read by Ballard himself.

“The story,” says James Warner “can be read as a metaphorical account of Ballard’s entire writing career.”
