Radio Vault & Sunday Night Mysteries Holiday Shows
Most Radio Vault and WHFR Sunday Night Mysteries programs during December feature a holiday-themed episodes and this year, we have more variety than ever before.
How many times did Jack Benny go Christmas shopping and drive the store clerk crazy (played by Mel Blanc - the voice of Bugs Bunny)? Turns out quite a few times, and each year it was different, starting in the early 1940s through the mid 1950s.
There were also holiday-themed dramas including some radio scripts adapted from movies like "Miracle on 34th Street," "A Christmas Carol" and others. Lead roles are often played by the same actors who were in the film versions.
We'll also have some New Years programs and some "best of" shows selected from the past year:
- For comedy, variety and light drama, Radio Vault is heard every Tuesday between 10AM and 1PM ET.
- For Suspense, detectives and drama, WHFR Sunday Night Mysteries airs from 9PM - 12 Midnight ET.
