This week, Joy Jackson is our host. She will feature the Christmas party and shows presented by the American Radio Theater. Let us see what joy has to say about the program.
Just a couple of weeks after ,a href=”http://radiooutofthepast.org/content/2009-radio-out-past-christmas-marathon“>the Old-time-radio Marathon (Dec 5-6, 2009) on Radio Out of the Past.org, a new-time radio marathon will be presented in the Fred Bertelsen Old-Time-Radio Room. On Dec 17, Joy Jackson will share the fun and frivolities that transpired at the American Radio Theater’s Christmas 2009 party.
The two branches of American Radio Theater have a special tradition in December. The Lexington Kentucky chapter broadcasts a performance to their colleagues in Seattle, over the Internet, and Seattle broadcasts a performance (or two) back to them. We celebrate our fifth anniversary of broadcasts this year.
On Dec. 17, the unmodified recording of the 2009 broadcast will be played into the chat-room, as if it were live. This year, ART-Lexington will present a brand new Great Gildersleeve show, written by Mike Wheeler.
ART-Seattle will entertain with a brand-new episode of Chang Apana, written by Joy Jackson, followed by a recreation of Ethel and Albert-“Putting up the Christmas Tree”, and we’ll end the session with Vic and Sade-“Rush Shares his Plan for Christmas Presents”.
