Description:

Host Meg Wolitzer presents a celebration of the great Ray Bradbury, master of science fiction and fantasy.  Author Neil Gaiman, who hosted a live event at Symphony Space dedicated to Bradbury, elaborates on the program’s stories that demonstrate Bradbury’s imagination and humanism.  In  “There Will Come Soft Rains,” a smart home is all that’s left in the wake of devastation—and it can’t stop working.  The reader is Yetide Badaki.  Javier Munoz performs “The Fog Horn,” which presents a creature of the deep as an object of both fear and sympathy. And in “Embroidery,” a simple craft turns out to have unexpected power.  It’s read by Kirsten Vangsness.
