Rated G

Please Pardon the audio quality on this episode. I upgraded editors and am still learning all the bells and whistles in the hopes that future episodes will be much more clear and enjoyable.

Gerald is now in France and we are missing our best buddy. We had a great co-host scheduled but he had had technical difficulties so it was just us girls. We had a lot of fun discussing the political underpinnings of The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas. The big question still nags, is the well being of many enough to out way the misery of one. Maya tried to play devils advocate and see the story from a conservative point of view; spoiler… she failed.

Don’t forget, to rate the story! For the history of our goofy system, see Anais’ post “Read Short Stories or Ray Bradbury Cries.” If you want to design a Bradberry, we’d love to see it. Y’all rated The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe 4.33 bradberries.

Next week’s story To Build a Fire by Jack London

This week we say goodbye to Kenechi as he moves toward graduation and the great job search. We all wish him luck, his voice will be missed on the podcast.

So, we finally read a story by the very catalyst of our rating system. The Veldt is an interesting story that crosses horror, sci-fi and literary fiction. Because of the depth of meaning, we had a wonderful discussion crossing many topics. We all seemed to really enjoy the story, but we also read the story very differently from one another.

Yes, we do have a rating scale based on Bradberries! For the history of this goofy system, see Anais’ post “Read Short Stories or Ray Bradbury Cries.” If you want to design a Bradberry, we’d love to see it. Anais has the urge to create a Bradberry collage… Imagine, Bradberries on your desktop! You gave last week’s story, Constance’s Law by Bridget Hardy, 3.75 Bradberries.

On a scale of 1-6 Bradberries, how do you rate ‘The Veldt‘? Tell us in the comments below or via voicemail, and we will give you the final tally on the next episode.

Next week we are reading To Build a Fire by Jack London.
