Auditory Anthology

It's Christmas Eve! It's A Wonderful Life has been a part of my family's Christmas experience my entire life. Back in 1947, Lux Radio Theater created a radio adaptation of It’s A Wonderful Life. This production stars Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed reprising their iconic roles as George and Mary. Just like the movie, George goes on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery, guided by the bumbling yet endearing angel Clarence, as he learns just how much one life can touch so many others. Filled with warmth, love, and timeless holiday spirit, this broadcast brings the magic of Frank Capra’s film to life in the golden age of radio.

In this episode we have the third and final act of our first miniseries, The Illusion of Unity. In act two, after learning there was a fleet of alien ships on their way to Earth and they would reach us in 75 years, the human race banded together to create our own ships to intercept them. Now, in the conclusion, it’s time to meet our interstellar neighbors.If you have a story you’d like to contribute to the series, you can visit https://submissions.soundconceptmedia.com/Curator: Keith Conrad linktr.ee/keithrconradNarrator: Darren Marlar https://darrenmarlar.com/Man on the Street: Ray Stevens https://ramblinraystevens.com/Dr. Michael Green: Andrew Donaldson https://heardtell.substack.com/President of the United States: Peter Thiele https://voiceoverpeter.com/Dr. Richard Holman: Roger Badesch https://x.com/TeacherRBOther shows hosted by Darren Marlar:Weird Darkness: https://weirddarkness.com/Paranormality Magazine: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/paranormalitymagMicro Terrors: Scary Stories for Kids: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/microterrorsRetro Radio – Old Time Radio In The Dark: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/retroradioChurch of the Undead: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/churchoftheundead
