Hello and welcome back to the time machine. I hope you have been enjoying this week as we have worked our way through some of Bradbury’s greatest works that have been adapted for radio. Today we will feature two shows, first we will join Bradbury 13 for their phenomenal adaptation of The Wind. 'The Wind' was first published in 1948 and has since become one of Bradbury's most popular and enduring works. In the 1980s, a group from Brigham Young University along with NPR produced these wonderful adaptations.
This story is about a man who is hunted, hunted by an enemy he can’t see but he can hear it. The wind. The wind is out to get him… but that sounds ridiculous right? It’s just the wind, it must just be an irrational fear.
To wrap up the week, our second part of today’s episode will be Bradbury’s short, There Will Come Soft Rains. Adapted by dimension X in 1950, it tells the tale of a house that survives the end of the world. Without anything but description and sound effects, this near word for word adaptation truly shows you the power of literary imagery. I warn you that despite its relaxed nature, it is quite disturbing. Thank you for listening this week. I hope you have enjoyed our trip through Mr. Bradbury’s work. We will continue next week with regular programming and I hope to see you then for more great stories from the past.
