Bradbury’s classic book explored issues like media dependence, censorship and worries that this generation doesn’t read as much as past ones did…issues that still remain relevant a half century later. This month we taped a special discussion about the book; this is the full, unedited version of the program.

Guests

  • Mark Timney, Associate Professor of Journalism at Keene State College
  • Jeanne Cavellos, a New Hampshire-based Science Fiction Writer and Professor at St. Anselm College
