Journey #49 - The Fog Horn by Ray Bradbury (presented by Mind Webs)
The beacon of light and the sound of the fog horn call out to more than just helpless ships.
Mind Webs was a 1970's series out of WHA Radio in Wisconsin that featured weekly
semi-dramatized readings of science fiction short stories performed by Michael Hansen. It aired stroies by some of the genre's
best writers like Norman Spinrad, Arthur C. Clarke, Gordon R. Dickson, and Ray
Bradbury. Many of the readings were enhanced by music, periodic sound cues, and
the occasional character voice, however they are not completely dramatized.
Ray Bradbury was born on August 22, 1920 in Waukegan, Illinois. He was an American fantasy, science fiction, horror and mystery fiction writer. Best known for his dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 (1953) and for the science fiction and horror stories gathered together as The Martian Chronicles (1950) and The Illustrated Man (1951), Bradbury was one of the most celebrated 20th-century American writers of speculative fiction. He also inspired generations of writer and readers. Many of Bradbury's works have been adapted into television shows or films. He died, earlier this month, on June 5, 2012.

Journey #47 - The Repossession by Arthur Samuels (Nightfall)
Robert's brother Douglas died when they were separated as conjoined twins. Or did he?
To download, right-click here and then click Save
Nightfall is the title of a radio drama series produced and aired by CBC Radio (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) from July 1980 to June 1983. While primarily a supernatural/horror series, Nightfall featured some episodes in other genres, such as science fiction, mystery, fantasy, and human drama. One episode was even adapted from a folk song by Stan Rogers. Some of Nightfall's episodes were so terrifying that the CBC registered numerous complaints and some affiliate stations dropped it. Despite this, the series went on to become one of the most popular shows in CBC Radio history, running 100 episodes that featured a mix of original tales and adaptations of both classic and obscure short stories.
