Special Holiday Broadcasts: Dickens' Christmas Carol
Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol follows Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly man whose bleak view of Christmas is challenged by a series of supernatural visitors. Their revelations lead him to confront his past, consider the lives of those around him, and imagine the consequences of continuing as he has.
This holiday broadcast presents Dickens’ familiar tale in a dramatic radio format, using spoken performance and sound to bring its characters and scenes to life. The story moves from Scrooge’s solitary counting-house world into encounters shaped by memory, compassion, and the possibility of change.
Its blend of ghost story and Christmas reflection gives the broadcast both an eerie atmosphere and a warm, humane center. Listeners can expect a classic seasonal story about generosity, fellowship, and the chance to begin again.
