Episode 452: New Years 2026: Who Wants To Be Born These Days

This week we bring in the New Year, and appropriate with the theme we have a New Year's fantasy from The Columbia Workshop originally broadcast back in 1941. A group of unborn children peer down at the world through a hole in the sky and decide they want no part of it. War, injustice, and cruelty have convinced them to go on strike, refusing to be born at all. Their solution: one baby, Johnny, enters the world with the ability to negotiate. It’s a blend of whimsy and social commentary from the snapshot of America on the brink of another world war, with many themes that eerily resonate with modern times.
