Join us this week for an adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s short story, “Kaleidoscope,” presented by Suspense! A group of astronauts suddenly find themselves in a hopeless situation, one that forces them to confront how they’ve lived their lives. Some are content, others bitter. But does any of that matter when facing death? Are we all just floating through life, isolated and scared? Are we going to listen to every different adaptation of this story ever recorded? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

It’s just as plausible a story now as it was then. (I’m not a scientist or engineer, so none of that high-minded sass from you super-smart types!) They are voices floating in space, and it just WORKS. You guys mentioned Parley Baer in the intro,… Read more »
The glaring misogyny aside, I think what RB was trying to show was how each of these men kept people away through different means. One focused sole on himself (pleasure), etc. It was better than most RB writing.
