For this special encore podcast episode, we present – in its entirety – the complete and unabridged recording of A Little Dickens: The Complete Christmas Carol (abridged). (Dickens's story is abridged, not the recording. You'll work it out.) First heard on Public Radio International in 1995, this antic audio adaptation features Reed Martin as Jacob Marley, Matthew Croke as Tiny Tim, and Austin Tichenor as Ebenezer Scrooge (the role he's currently playing at Chicago's Goodman Theatre). May it warm your cockles! (Length 10:47) The post Special Christmas Encore! appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.
It's Christmas Eve, and Dominic takes a deep dive with you all through A Christmas Carol. Returning to the series is the inimitable Prof. John Bowen (who recently worked on David Edgar's Carol adaptation for the RSC) and who like many of us, re-reads this ghostly little book every Christmas and has pondered its power and meaning for decades.The Carol Philosophy that Dickens expresses so generously in this story is truly universal: everyone has a chance to change and not be fixed, or branded, as the worst version of themselves. Dickens' righteous anger here is channeled and diffused with goodwill, laughter and an unyielding determination to think only the best of people …Joining the series again to read excerpts is the fantastic Hollie Hales and the violin you will hear throughout is played by the brilliant Alexis BennettSupport the showIf you like to make a donation to support the costs of producing this series you can buy 'coffees' right here https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dominicgerrardHost: Dominic GerrardSeries Artwork: Léna GibertOriginal Music:

This Christmas, the cold streets of Victorian London collide with the fiery depths of Hell in a chilling reimagining of a classic tale. Jacob Marley, the tormented ghost doomed to carry the chains of his earthly sins, is summoned by a sinister demon to deliver a haunting message to his former partner, Ebenezer Scrooge. But as Marley confronts the sins of his past, he discovers that redemption is not within his grasp—and that Hell's games are far crueler than he could have ever imagined. A story of despair, darkness, and the twisted contrast between holiday joy and eternal torment, "The Christmas Misadventure of Marley's Ghost" reveals the untold side of Scrooge's haunting—a side where hope is fleeting, and salvation is nothing more than a cruel joke. This is not the feel-good Christmas story you thought you knew.

Grandpa Bill's Grunts & Groans @billholt8792Pliny the Younger, a Roman writer and politician, recorded a celebrated account of a haunted house in Athens around 50 AD. The house had a reputation for being haunted, and strange noises, including the clanking of chains, could be heard at night. A ghostly figure, resembling an emaciated old man, would also appear.The house was eventually abandoned due to the terrifying experiences of its inhabitants. However, a philosopher named Athenodorus purchased the house, intrigued by its low price and the mysterious circumstances surrounding it.Athenodorus spent a night in the house, determined to confront the ghost. Despite the initial fear, he remained calm and focused on his writing. When the ghost appeared, Athenodorus followed it, and it eventually vanished in the courtyard. Pliny the Younger's account of the haunted house in Athens offers a captivating glimpse into the ancient world's understanding of the supernatural. This chilling tale, filled with eerie noises, ghostly apparitions, and a philosopher's courage, continues to fascinate readers centuries later.Exploring the Ancient BeliefsThe Afterlife and Unrest: The belief in an afterlife was widespread in ancient Rome, and disturbances in the world of the living were often attributed to unrest in the world of the dead. The haunting of the Athenian house might have been interpreted as the spirit of a wronged soul seeking justice or peace.The Romans believed in the power of ritual and ceremony to connect with the divine and maintain harmony between the living and the dead. They understood that neglecting their ancestors or failing to properly honor them could lead to unrest in the spirit world, manifesting as misfortune, illness, or even haunting.To appease these restless spirits and restore balance, the Romans performed various rituals and offerings. These included:Funerary rites: Grandpa Bill has Elaborated on funeral ceremonies in archival shows, hoping to bridge a smooth transition for the deceased into the afterlife, preventing them from becoming vengeful spirits.Libations and sacrifices: Pouring libations of wine or milk and offering food to the spirits were common practices to show respect and gratitude.Festivals like Lemuria were specifically designed to appease the spirits of the dead and protect the living from their potential harm.#RomanReligion,#AncientRituals,#SpiritWorld,#AfterlifeBeliefs,#RomanMythology,#HistoricalReligion,Segue to A Christmas CarolA fascinating parallel can be drawn between the Roman beliefs in appeasing spirits and the haunting of Ebenezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Both stories highlight the power of the unseen world to influence the living. Just as the Roman spirits sought justice and resolution, so too does the ghost of Jacob Marley, haunting Scrooge to encourage him to change his ways. The themes of redemption, empathy, and the importance of human connection resonate across centuries, reminding us that the power of the spirit world can inspire both fear and hope.Ancient Hauntings and Modern Lessons: From Roman Rituals to A Christmas CarolJoin Grandpa Bill as we delve into the eerie world of ancient Roman beliefs about the afterlife and explore how these beliefs have influenced timeless tales like A Christmas Carol. We'll discuss the power of the spirit world, the importance of redemption, and the enduring legacy of these haunting stories.How do you think ancient Roman beliefs about the afterlife compare to modern-day ghost stories and supernatural tale https://www.buzzsprout.com/2222759/episodes/16308514
Donald Trump is not only asserting himself on the world stage but he is inserting himself and to congressional budget resolutions as we close out 2024. Speaker Mike Johnson had tried to pass a fairly robust 1500 page continuing resolution which included pay raises for Congress until Trump's DOGE minions in Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami squawked to the internets. Within a couple of hours that CR was dead as a doornail, much like Jacob Marley. What happens next is anyone's guess and it should be an interesting weekend before Christmas when all through the House of Representatives.... no one knows what the heck is going on.

While this time of year has us rushing around and planning for all the festivities and activities of the season, it's also an important time to take a step back and recognize the fundamental purpose of the season in the first place – the practice of generosity. Links: Learn more about the mission at givingtuesday.org Check out some tips and ideas on how to participate Check out TCU University for more financial education tips and resources! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast. We've passed through the hectic Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping to come out on the other side to the official launch of the Christmas season. With all the attention we give to finding deals, preparing parties, planning travel and signing Christmas cards, it's helpful to remember that the heart of the season lies deeper than just the parties and the shopping- it's about giving. For those who may be unaware, today is Giving Tuesday. Officially established back in 2012, it was intended to ignite a movement reminding all of us to take some time to serve others and our communities through volunteerism or financial means. The website givingtuesday.org states boldly that the overall purpose of the movement is to “Unleash the power of radical generosity around the world.” I don't know about you, but that sounds like a movement I can get behind. Since its creation, the movement has gained international traction. Every year, people and organizations unite across the globe from India, Africa, Europe, and more to recognize the importance of serving others through giving. So the question some may have is, “what's the best way to give?” The good news is that there are no requirements. Participation counts in whatever way you choose to give back. Try a random act of kindness like complimenting a stranger, carrying someone's groceries, leaving positive notes for someone to find or pick up litter on a walk. You can participate through financial generosity like paying for the next person in line, rounding up your purchase to donate to a charity, collecting goods for a soup kitchen or buying presents for children in need. Volunteerism is another great way to participate like serving others at a shelter or soup kitchen, walking dogs at a shelter, or reading to kids at a local school or daycare. If you're interested in participating this year, check out givingtuesday.org for a list of ideas on how to join in the mission. The site also offers a variety of giving tools and other inspiring resources to ramp up the Giving Tuesday energy. For many of us, the holidays are so busy, and rapidly speed by so when they're finally over, we sadly realize we missed some beautiful opportunities to share in the glorious practice of generosity touching the many around us who could benefit most this season. For those familiar with the famous Charles Dicken's story, A Christmas Carol, here's a relevant scene from the story about the importance of generosity. Quick backstory: Scrooge, stunned by Jacob Marley's ghost wrapped in chains, is baffled that a man so successful in life could be so burdened afterwards. The quote goes: “But you were always a good man of business, Jacob,' faltered Scrooge, who now began to apply this to himself. Business!' cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. "Mankind was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The deals of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!” When we reflect on the significance of this season and the true need of the many people around us, this day, Giving Tuesday, serves as reminder that our real business on earth is to give and share with those around us who are in need. Participating in Giving Tuesday is a great way to practice generosity and share in the joy of helping others.

Hi! Today, we will discuss "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. This story is about kindness and how people can change, especially during Christmas. So, let's dive into Ebenezer Scrooge's story together! Get the TRANSCRIPT on my website: https://speakenglishpodcast.com/280-a-christmas-carol-by-charles-dickens-for-beginners/ "A Christmas Carol" is about a man named Ebenezer Scrooge. He doesn't like Christmas, and he's mean to everyone, even his worker, Bob Cratchit. One cold Christmas Eve, Scrooge gets a visit from the ghost of his old partner, Jacob Marley, who is wrapped in chains. Marley tells Scrooge that he'll be in chains, too, if he doesn't change his ways. Scrooge is visited by three more ghosts—the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. They show him his past, his present, and a scary future. In the past, Scrooge sees when he was young and kinder. In the present, he sees people enjoying Christmas, even if they don't have much money. He especially sees Bob Cratchit and his family, who are poor but happy. The scariest part is when he meets the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. This ghost shows him a future where nobody cares about Scrooge because he's so mean. Scrooge realizes he doesn't want this future. He wants to change and feels happy when he wakes up on Christmas morning. He starts being kind and helps people. Not only that, but he gives money to charity, gives more money to Bob Cratchit, and takes care of Tiny Tim, who is very sick. "A Christmas Carol" shows us that we can always choose to be kind, and Christmas is a time to love and share. Here are the themes of the novel: Change and Kindness: This story shows us that people can change and become kinder if they want to. Family and Togetherness: The Cratchit family's love reminds us that family is important even when they don't have much. Giving and Joy: Christmas is about giving and making others happy. "A Christmas Carol" is a story that reminds us to be kind, especially during Christmas. Whether you hear it for the first time or again, it's a story that warms our hearts.

"A Christmas Carol," a timeless tale crafted by Charles Dickens, is a profound exploration of transformation, redemption, and the powerful manifestation of love. The story revolves around Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly old businessman in Victorian London known for his bitterness and disregard for his fellow men. The tale begins on Christmas Eve, where Scrooge dismisses the season's merriment and his nephew's invitation to Christmas dinner with his infamous line, "Bah, humbug!" His life takes a dramatic turn when he is visited by the ghost of his deceased business partner, Jacob Marley, and three Spirits of Christmas - Past, Present, and Yet to Come.
On its 20th anniversary, actor and playwright Tom Mula discusses the stage adaptation of his book Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol, which is available to license via Dramatists Play Service. Mula reveals how Marley helping with Scrooge's redemption inspired Tom to help with Marley's; how A Christmas Carol remains an enduring personal myth; how, like Scrooge himself, he too was haunted by Jacob Marley; how he helped settle two ghosts; how cartoonist Nicole Hollander helped him get published; his complicated feelings about having a resting Scrooge face; his fear about living up to the set design; and the beautiful art of surviving a demanding role and how it can inform your future work.

Ebenezer Scrooge hates Christmas with a passion. To him, it's all a waste of time and money. But when he's visited by the ghost of his dead business partner, the equally greedy Jacob Marley, Scrooge begins to understand the error of his ways.
Ebenezer Scrooge is confronted by the ghost of Jacob Marley.
Jacob Marley may be "dead as a doornail," but it's a Dickens doubleheader as Richard Donner's Scrooged, starring Bill Murray, turns 35, while we get a fictionalized look behind the curtain at how Dan Stevens's depiction of author Charles Dickens wrote the bloody thing in the first place in 2017's The Man Who Invented Christmas, also starring the great Christopher Plummer as old Ebenezer. Plus, poll results, interactive trivia, behind-the-scenes fun facts, and listener shout-outs!
"Man of the worldly mind, do you believe in me or not?" That's what Jacob Marley's ghost asks Ebenezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol. In this episode, Spencer points out that everyone believes in something they can't see--the question is, what? So begins the first episode on faith in our tour through the three theological virtues.
