Victor, the host and creator of the Vix Audio Show podcast, has just relaunched his show after a year of letting it lie fallow. The new episode (#5) features an interview with sound designer Michael McDonough – who if you didn’t know – and shame on you if you didn’t – is responsible for the famous 1984 broadcast NPR series known plainly as the “Bradbury 13”. The podcast also features a few clips from the most popular installment in the series: A Sound Of Thunder. In my opinion, Michael McDonough’s series has the best radio dramatized adaptations of Ray Bradbury stories, if not some of the best audio dramatizations of Science Fiction in general.
Have a listen to the MP3 HERE.
Incidently…. [CUE CHEESY COMMERICAL MUSIC] Though the series Victor is talking about is out of print, I still have BRAND NEW, STILL SEALED stock from the Durkin Hayes 1990s audiobook releases of the “Bradbury 13.” A complete set, 12 of the 13 shows on 6 individual cassettes, is $70.00 USD. This set is 100% legitimate, unplayed, and official. (This series is NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN folks.) Send me an email if you’re interested in a set. [/END COMMERICAL]
