Show Notes

We’re not too old to pay a visit to “The Playground,” an adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s short story from Vanishing Point! The story features Charlie, a young father who wrestles with his own troubled childhood as his own son wants to go play with other children. When Charlie visits the neighborhood playground, it looks sinister and unsafe, but he can’t tell if the danger is real or a product of his anxieties. Is he being over-protective or are his fears well-founded? Why does one of the kids at the playground address Charlie by name? How do playgrounds work in Canada? Listen for yourself and find out!
