News – July 5th, 2022

Happy July 4th, I hope that you and your families had a fun weekend. I have decided to take this week off from podcasting and all work related activities. But not to worry, there will be a show this Thursday. A couple of weeks ago I sent out an email to 100 random followers of the blog asking them to help me pick a show from the past to play this week. I gave them a choice of 5 of my favorites. Here is the list:

At the time of this writing over 50 have responded to the question. Which show did they pick? Tune in and find out. You can listen to this podcast on Thursday at Ron’s Amazing Stories, download it from Apple Podcasts, stream it on Stitcher Radio or on the mobile version of Spotify. Do you prefer the radio?

On The Podcast This Week – A Christmas Carol

On this program this week we will hear the story of Ebenezer Scrooge. It should come as no surprise that this is a holiday classic, but what might be a shocker is that we have never played this tale in the ten years of Ron’s Amazing Stories. That changes this Thursday. So why are we playing A Christmas Carol? Well, on December 23rd we will be presenting a follow-up to the story with a twist that you will only be able to hear on Ron‘s Amazing Stories. Sylvia Shults and I are going to take and turn this story on its head with real-life ghost stories and much, much more. So, be here that week to hear what should be a very different look at A Christmas Carol.

A Christmas Carol is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843. It recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man. Published on the 19th of December, the first edition sold out by Christmas Eve, and by the end of 1844 thirteen editions had been released.

Dickens wrote the story during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols, and newer customs such as Christmas cards and Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors, including Washington Irving and Douglas Jerrold. Most critics reviewed the novella favorably. He went on to write four other Christmas stories in subsequent years. In 1849 he began public readings of the story, which proved so successful he undertook 127 further performances until 1870, the year of his death. A Christmas Carol has never been out of print and has been translated into several languages.

Such an amazing story and you can listen to this podcast on Thursday at Ron’s Amazing Stories, download it from Apple Podcasts, stream it on Stitcher Radio, or on the mobile version of Spotify.

The Month Of Spooky 2021

It is that time of year again where Ron’s Amazing Stories changes from a partially spooky show to an all out spookfest. Coming up during the month of October you will hear some of the creepiest stories from all manner of sources. I don’t want to give away all of the surprises, but I will tell you this. We will be taking our annual halloween story The Thing On The Fourble Board and doing a MST3K type take at it. Something I have never done and it should be …well amazing. Also during the month there will be extra podcasts, a crazy Ghost Stories with Sylvia, and much more. It all begins next week, but you can expect a taste of it on this Thursday’s podcast where we present a collection of your stories where the experiencers were forced to run away. Also, on the show we present a story from the mind of Arch Oboler titled Oxychloride X. This one just might destroy the world as we know it.
