264 A Christmas Carol
A festive emterainment themed around Charles Dickens’ Victorian morality tale “A Christmas Carol”
Oddly enough, this show grew out of the fact that I remembered the first line of Marillion’s Childhood’s End being “and it was morning”, fitting that into Scrooge’s awakening, and the whole thing grew out of that. It came together with a bit of effort and went down very well, a good show for our last in 2024.
We all here at Radio Free D’ni wish you a very happy solstice celebration of your choice (why not choose more than one, Jul, Christmas, Old Christmas, Saturmalia…) and a good New Year. We will return on January 5th 2025.
