  • The Making of No Christmas This Year

    The Making of No Christmas This Year
    Jan 7 2025
    I originally intended to make a companion piece to the Christmas episode, giving a bit of backstory on how I came across it, and getting some thoughts from other Serling commentators on the newly discovered radio play, No Christmas This Year. Unfortunately time got away with me and my original plan to put this out within a few days after Christmas just never materialized.

    So while this companion episode is a bit rough round the edges, and I originally planned to do a lot more with it, I think it's worth is to hear friend of the show Josh Chambers and his son Carson performing No Christmas This Year as I originally planned to use it.
