Ray Bradbury brought science fiction into the mainstream with stories like\\xa0The Martian Chronicles, and his works were adapted for some of the best radio anthologies of the era. Stories from the author of Fahrenheit 451 and\\xa0The Illustrated Man inspired episodes of\\xa0Escape,\\xa0X Minus One, and\\xa0Suspense. We\'ll hear two of his terrifying tales from radio\'s outstanding theater of thrills: "Zero Hour" (originally aired on CBS on April 5, 1955) and "The Whole Town\'s Sleeping" (originally aired on CBS on June 14, 1955). Plus, we\'ll hear "The Veldt," a story about addictive technology years before smart phones, from Dimension X (originally aired on NBC on August 9, 1951).
