  • Summary

  • n this episode of Radio Revisited: Behind the Static, host Walt Briggs presents Ray Bradbury’s chilling 1951 radio drama The Veldt, as originally aired on Dimension X. Set in a future where a fully automated home caters to a family’s every whim, the story follows two children whose obsession with a virtual African veldt takes a dark and irreversible turn. After the broadcast, Walt unpacks the story’s prophetic warning about tech addiction, emotional disconnection, and the quiet ways we let machines parent for us. He draws a line from mid-century “nurseries” to today’s immersive screens — and asks whether we've traded connection for convenience without realizing what it cost.
