bravenewworldFor their 75th episode, the Pavement Pounders welcome back their very first guest, James’s lovely wife Emily, or as he calls her, Her Fordship. Under discussion is Emily’s choice, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and its two television adaptations.

There’s a fair bit of us talking over each other. Blame it on the soma.

For Episode #43, the Pavement Pounders are lucky enough to be joined once again by friend of the show Phil Nichols, senior advisor to the Center for Ray Bradbury Studies. Fahrenheit 451 is the topic this time, both the Francois Truffaut adaptation and, of course, the classic dystopian novel by Ray Bradbury.
