The Martian Chronicles - Old Time Radio Science Fiction
About this episode
This week on The Shiver Show, we're taking you on a thrilling journey to Mars and back with The Martian Chronicles—an unforgettable episode from the Dimension X radio series (1950)! This series of tales by Ray Bradbury chronicles humanity's first attempts to colonize the Red Planet. The stories are told from the human and the Martian perspective, making this story unique for its time. Originally aired during the height of the Cold War, The Martian Chronicles continues to ask profound philosophical questions about human nature and our place in the universe.
Mary and Greg talk about Ray Bradbury's fascinating history as a writer, how tall Martians might be, and whether a pop-up hot dog stand would succeed on Mars.
