Christmas on the Radio

[DerekVOF]

Check out these HUGE collections (over 250 episodes) of Christmas radio that are being hosted on Archive.org. There are broadcasts of Lionel Barrymore (old man Potter from It's a Wonderful Life) doing a great job as Scrooge, versions of Miracle on 34th Street (with Edmund Gween is Kris), Holiday Inn (with Bing Crosby), It's a Wonderful Life (with Jimmy Stewart & Donna Reed), and ton more!

And of course the toppers - several Jack Benny episodes and one that I hadn't heard before - the Fitch Bandwagon episode where Jack visits Phil & Alice to play Santa Claus for the kids

Is that the one where the "real" Santa shows up? That's a pretty good one.

I don't know if archive.org has it, but there's also a good Burns and Allen Christmas show featuring Clarence Nash as their pet duck.

Yup - that's the one.

I think that Burns & Allen episode might be in there -- one where Gracie dreams she's going to the North Pole to visit Santa and she flies on her duck or something... don't remember...

But there are a heck of a lot of episodes here - from Eddie Cantor to Fibber McGee & Molly to My Favorite Husband to Bing Crosby... It's a heck of a holiday package
