Holi-Day & Date Christmas Fun! (Week 3)

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat (The Digital Salon)

We forego our regular shows during the holidays, and for this program, we offer you a variety of holiday fare, all originally aired on this same date, but many decades before.

This week, we air an episode of The Good News of 1939, a variety show with music and comedy, and a performance by Lionel Barrymore, recreating some key moments for A Christmas Carol. Voice of The Army brings us a unique (and somewhat unusual) broadcast, Christmas Harps, with harp-renditions of Christmas classics. Finally, we bring you a story from the anthology program, NBC Radio City Playhouse, with a story that is using a very familiar title.

It’s two hours of vintage holiday broadcasts, ready for you this holiday season.

 

Enjoy!
