Radio Free Burrito Presents: Thoughts on the Worldstate by Henry Kuttner

Posted on By Wil

I wasn’t planning on recording today, but while I was looking for something to record tomorrow, I found a thing that I loved so much, I couldn’t wait.

The story I chose is titled “Thoughts on the Worldstate”, and it was written by Henry Kuttner. It is from the Spring, 1940, issue of Futuria Fantastia, which was edited by Ray Bradbury. (Side note: if you’re looking for something to read, and you enjoy speculative fiction, I think you may like this issue of the magazine as much as I do. It’s a whole lot of fun to read, and the illustrations are pretty great.)

  1. What a delightful recommendation! I’ve been reading SF from Project Gutenberg for decades, and I missed this sweet sample. Thanks!

  2. Your characterful narration brought this really fun story to life for me, tickling several delighted belly laughs and desire for more, more, more of your readings! Thank you Will! I’m still laughing….!!!

  3. So delightful! You have made cleaning my pantry shelves into light work with all your tales, and this one is a particular delight!

  5. Love the variety you are providing in your narrations. I always admire the illustrations you have for these, but the one for this story … I didn’t quite tie into the story. Not a complaint – just a side observation. I liked your narration very much on this one, and it was a delightful little story. THANK YOU!!

  6. WOW! Do I say that often about your talents??? This was such a great reading! I loved it! Story was good too. Thank you so much for lightening the mood of these somewhat desperate days! Thank goodness for WIL WHEATON! BTW, I just bought a Wil Wheaton action figure! Another WOW moment! 🙂

  7. There are more cases and fatalities in China than all other nations combined.

    I hope you all are canny enough to adhere to reliable sources. If not, it will cost you.

  9. I can hear in your voice just how much fun this recording was, Wil! Thank you for sharing it with us! 😀
