Mindwebs
Repent, Harlequin! Said the Ticktockman
by
Mindwebs is a radio anthology of science fiction and fantasy stories, presented in a distinctive intimate style by host and narrator Michael Hanson. Rather than relying on a large cast, the program centers on Hanson’s expressive reading, with music and sound effects helping bring each story to life.
The series draws on imaginative fiction that explores unusual ideas, strange worlds, and the consequences of human choices. Its literary approach gives the stories room to unfold through narration, while the audio setting adds atmosphere and a sense of immediacy.
In this installment, the title identifies Harlan Ellison’s story “Repent, Harlequin! Said the Ticktockman,” a satirical science-fiction tale about a society governed by strict schedules and the figure who enforces them. The combination of sharp social commentary and an inventive premise makes Mindwebs a compelling listen for fans of thoughtful, story-led radio science fiction.
