A Christmas Carol for radio

Some of you will appreciate this and how much work it takes to put together.

In Septermber Tim Loughry, our promotions director said he was going to re-write the Scrooge story around the morning show and produce it.

About a week ago, we started, and many, many hours later it was completed. As a matter of fact, completed at 2:00am this morning.

All of us had scripts, and we met one evening last week to record our parts, put the parts in a big folder, and went home.

Then Tim and John Thomas did the long, grueling work of production.
THEY are totally responsible for it all. Just sifting through the sound fx would've been enough to drive me crazy.

I think it turned out really well, and it attempts to emulate 'old-time' radio.

One thing to note; a lot of the stuff won't make sense, because we had morning show characters, and so forth throughout the piece, so you probably won't *get* that stuff and some of the 'inside-jokes' (unless you're a listener)

But----- try it out and see what you think.

Kudos to John Thomas and Tim Loughry for busting their ass to get this done to run today. (so far once this morning and once at noon, and probably tomorrow and Sunday)

I just had a mental picture of you during the ghost of Christmas past segment, smoking in your apartment with all the windows open and running the tiny heat pump full blast going "It was never this cold in Nestorville when I had the free gas"...

That's a damn good job, Eric. Compliments to everyone involved.

Thanks guys.

My favorite part is Hoppy's theme music starting when he appears as the "Ghost of Christmas present."

Glad to see some people still have a love of radio.

Well done Eric and crew. Well done.

If they're under 10mb (each), can someone email them to me? Uncle Sam is saying I can't download MP3's.
