Cross Talk: Season Five extra

from paulcrosstoronto’s Podcast Hosted by paulcrosstoronto

On A Christmas Carol on the Radio. Reposting, with a slight edit to remove the original reference to live theatre performances, which were happening when I produced it in December 2019. For nearly a hundred years, the Charles Dickens classic has been coming alive on the radio at Christmas time. Makes fair dealing use of bits of audio from the 1951 United Artists picture; the 1939 Campbell Soup Playhouse radio production starring Lionel Barrymore, with Orson Welles as the narrator, and from Radio Drama Revival Project. For educational purposes. The hardcover "The Books of Christmas" by Charles Dickens, pictured in the photo here was published in 1907. The Radio is a General Electric TA200A VY, 1960s but hard to date exactly. For previous Christmas-time Radio history please listen to Season 1, Episode 15 - "On the Canadian Christmas Eve broadcast that gave Radio to the World".
