Review of A Christmas Carol
This is a wonderful radio adaption of a Christmas favorite. The production is spare but effective. The story's the thing here and Arthur Wilhite does a great job of voicing all the characters. There's a long radio tradition of airing "A Christmas Carol" around the holiday; stations should make a gift of this version to listeners on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
