Ep. 983, Asleep in Armageddon, by Ray Bradbury

The Classic Tales Podcast

After a crash landing while waiting for the rescue ship, Leonard Sale has food, water, air, everything he should need. Now, he just needs to get some sleep... Ray Bradbury, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.

I feel like Ray Bradbury almost needs no introduction. As a kid in the 80s, I was astounded at the Disney film, Something Wicked This Way Comes. It ticked all the boxes to my young mind. When I was in high school, I discovered the richness of his storytelling in Dandelion Wine. When I discovered audiobooks, I heard him read to me The Martian Chronicles. He was a great friend of Ray Harryhausen, the great pioneer of stop motion fantasy and adventure films in the 70s and 80s. My father-in-law painted something for Mr. Bradbury, who wrote him back, saying that he had placed his art above his typewriter. Ray Bradbury died in 2012.

Today’s story was originally written in 1948, in the winter edition of Planet Stories. After extensive research it appears the copyright was not renewed.

And now, “Asleep in Armageddon”, by Ray Bradbury.
