Episode #137: Christmas: A Christmas Carol

Well, here it is... our big Christmas show! And this year we are bringing you one of the most prestigious programs from the Golden Age of Radio, the great actor Lionel Barrymore as Ebenezer Scrooge (many will consider Barrymore the quintessential Scrooge), with Orson Welles and the Mercury Theatre in support, in Charles Dickens Christmas Carol. This one-hour live production from Christmas Eve of 1939 captures these performers at their absolute pinnacle. So settle back, close your eyes, and let this vintage masterpiece take you to another time and place.  Visit our website: https://goodolddaysofradio.com/ Subscribe to our Facebook Group for news, discussions, and the latest podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/881779245938297 If you don't do Facebook, we’re also on Gab: https://gab.com/OldRadio  Our theme music is "Why Am I So Romantic?" from Animal Crackers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KHJKAKS/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_MK8MVCY4DVBAM8ZK39WD
