Show Notes

This week’s visit to our Listener Library features a classic Ray Bradbury story as adapted by X Minus One! Our thanks to Cheryl (author of The Viv and Charlie Mystery Series!) for recommending this episode, “Mars is Heaven,” based on part of Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles (although it was originally published in Planet Stories).  An exploratory mission to Mars discovers strangely familiar sights when they land on the planet’s surface. What hopes and fears dwell in the hearts of those who explore new worlds? Do the small town comforts hide some sinister secret? Did we perpetuate another internet error by saying that Mason Adams was in this cast even though he’s not mentioned in the actual recording? (Our apologies if we did.) Listen for yourself and find out!
