On Ron’s Amazing Stories we have something special. We play the classic old-time radio version of A Christmas Carol written by Charles Dickens. This adaptation is performed, written, and directed by Orson Welles. The part of Ebeneezer Scrooge is played by actor Lionel Barrymore who has performed this role more than once during his historic career. Also, on the show, Sylvia Shults and I preview next week’s groundbreaking podcast which will be focused on A Christmas Carol.

Featured Story – A Christmas Carol

This story was part of the Campbell Playhouse which was a CBS radio drama series directed by and starring Orson Welles. 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. It was originally published on December 19, 1843, by Chapman & Hall. It first aired on the Campbell Playhouse on December 24, 1939.

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this time I guess you can say that this is our official Thanksgiving Day show. While it might be light on gobbler content since most of this show is… well normal amazing stuff. We have a review of Robert Jordan’s Eye Of The World, two science fiction stories, and a Bigfoot adventure. Then we end the show with a tribute to the men and women of Plymouth Rock. So grab a turkey sandwich and enjoy the show.

Featured Story – After A Few Words

We have a story today that is… well.. different from anything we have ever had before. It could be considered “controversial” but it is too darn good to not play it. I received an email from Corey Snow of Chula Vista, California recommending it. Well, I gave it a listen, and I do not support the habit of smoking nor wish to glamorize its use, but this is a fantastic story. It is called…After a Few Words, was first published in Analog Magazine in the October 1962 edition, and is read for us by Corey.

Other Stories Include – How Did You Know, The Eye of the World, Big Foot Calling Bigfoot, After a Few Words, The Ultimate Experiment, and The Thanksgiving Tale.
