Good points about Bradbury's attachment to the nuclear family and the general sense of dread that surrounds many of his short stories (if the Bad Thing hasn't already happened, it's just around the corner). Tho' that has a lot to do with the times he was writing most of these tales in. I think he was convinced man would destroy the planet with atomic weapons sooner rather than later given the number of stories he wrote where this actually happens. More thoughts on Sluggasmox in a day or two hopefully. also ZOMG Joe Jackson :o :D Nice job.

Sounds about right. By the way, the automatically generated keywords for this entry conclude with “bite tales lots talk”. Sounds about right.

I live in hope. The download counter's reset to zero so I think my swap has been successful! Let me know if it gives you any further chipmunk symptoms.

I'll see about putting up a different version but in the meantime you can download it or subscribe to the podcast.
