Fun Freetime - Scrooge: A Christmas Carol Podcast

 SCROOGE: A Christmas Carol – A Podcast Presentation of Hope Media Group and Compassion International in partnership with KSBJ & WayFM are bringing the much-loved story wherever you find podcasts on November 16. This 4-part, fully dramatized and all-new adaptation of “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens will get the entire family in the Christmas spirit. While being true to the original story, screenwriter P.G. Cuschieri and creator/producer Mark Ramsey imagined fresh story elements  with beloved actors Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings) & John Rhys-Davies (Indiana Jones). This new adaptation will highlight inspirational family themes that will encourage listeners for many Christmases yet-to-come. 

This four episode adaptation of “Scrooge:  A Christmas Carol,” by Charles Dickens brings the characters we all know and love to life unlike ever before through a star-studded dramatic audio adaptation in podcast form. Ebenezer Scrooge, a self-obsessed miserable miser of all things un-merry and un-bright, is everything Christmas isn’t. After he is visited by the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come, Scrooge transforms into a new man and embodies all the best parts of Christmas. Through this journey of transformation, listeners will encounter themes of joy, mercy, hope, and more. This new re-telling of the holiday classic will entertain, inspire, and remind you that even the hardest of hearts can find redemption. The story of Scrooge is a known commodity and has been a well-loved story for nearly 180 Christmases past.
