Episode #190 SF Hall of Fame #14 Mars is Heaven by Ray Bradbury w/ Phil Nichols and Marc Rothenberg

In 1970, Avon Books published a landmark anthology, “Science
Fiction Hall of Fame,” featuring 26 classic short stories that
represent landmark tales of the genre. The stories were voted on
by the members of the new (at the time, in the late 1960s)
organization Science Fiction Writers of America. In this series,
I will be joined by a panel of guests to break down these stories
and talk about the authors in the book.


In this episode, we talk about Ray Bradbury’s 1948 classic Mars
is Heven. I am joined by two guests, including noted Ray Bradbury
Expert Phil Nichols. He is the editor of the Ray Bradbury Review
and podcaster behind Bradbury 100. If you listen to this podcast,
you know Judge Marc Rothenberg, who joins me for my annual best
reads of the year episodes.


We talk about all things Bradbury, the influence of this story,
and much more.
