Download it and curl on up to the radio hearth for some good old-fashioned, old-time radio fun (with a very BradCast twist!)
Breaking with tradition here, since we will be offering a rare pre-recorded BradCast on KPFK/Pacifica Radio this week and next week (both Christmas Day and New Year’s Day are on Wednesdays, when my show usually airs live), and since you may want to listen to it before going completely off grid over the holidays, I thought I’d release our Very Special BradCast Holiday Special here prior to its first KPFK airing at 3p PT/6p ET on Christmas Day this week.
For this very special special, we went back to some of our very oldest BradCasts, as originally aired in the 1930s and 1940s, and chose three different episodes of The BradCast Radio Theatre Players in performance of “Henry Ford’s Science Fiction Theatre OF THE AIR!” In many cases, they are as timely today as when they first ran.
Some of you who are old enough, may remember when The BradCast was originally sponsored by the Ford Motor Company. For those who aren’t, these episodes will hopefully be a delightful surprise, as they feature both Henry Ford himself, as well as myself, Desi Doyen and our old friend Paul Byrne who wrote all of the “Mighty Adventures of Buzz Edsel” episodes which you’ll hear in this Very Special BradCast Holiday Special!
As the graphic above notes, the show includes Action! Adventure! And fun for the whole family! (Except Communists!) So curl on up to the old-time radio hearth and enjoy!…And a happy holidays to all…

Happy Holidays, Brad…
This was most excellent!!!!! Kept me on the edge of my seat. Henry Ford’s voice reminded me of someone else…. couldn’t quite place him……
Thanks, Jon! Much appreciated! As to who Henry Ford might sound like to you, I couldn’t imagine. He was, after all, one of our greatest, one-of-kind billionaire industrialists! A true American original!
Thank you, Kevin! And backatcha to you and yours!
