Ray was born on August 20th and this would have been his 101st birthday. I have tried to make him part of the show and I think you will enjoy the result. We have three stories from you guys, and an adaptation of probably his most famous work, The Martian Chronicles.&amp;nbsp; Ray Bradbury was a prolific and influential author with a career that spanned decades. From his first published story in 1938, Hollerbochen\u2019s Dilemma, to his Hugo award-winning novel Fahrenheit 451, the author was a master of the science-fiction genre. What you may not know about him was just how much he loved the story, which of course makes him perfect for Ron\u2019s Amazing Stories. Featured Story - The Martian Chronicles Our featured story is a radio adaptation of The Martian Chronicles. There were many of these throughout the golden age of radio, but most took individual chapters from the book and presented it as a complete story. What we have is the entire book in 30 minutes. Sounds impossible? Well ...it should be, but they did it. The production comes from the OTR series Dimension X and comes complete with the original commercials and radio spots. So, what we really have is a time machine taking us back to August 18th, 1950. Other Stories Include - The Tulip Murder, The Martian Chronicles - Audiobook, The Ghoulish Caller, My Walk On The Beach, Grandma's Rocking Chair, and The Martian Chronicles - Story.
