WEDNESDAY, December 29th: Adventures from HOGFATHER Conclude

 

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, Hogswatchnight, when the Hogfather himself dons his red suit and climbs in his sleigh pulled by—of course—eight hogs, to shower gifts across Discworld. But when the fat man goes missing, someone has to sit in. It’s up to Death to take up the reigns—otherwise the sun won’t shine tomorrow . . . or ever again.

There are those who believe and those who don’t. Through the ages, superstition has had its uses; nowhere more so than in the Discworld where it’s helped to maintain the status quo. Anything that undermines superstition has to be viewed with some caution.

There may be consequences, particularly on the last night of the year when the time is turning. When those consequences turn out to be the end of the world, you need to be prepared. You might even want more standing between you and oblivion than a mere slip of a girl – even if she has looked Death in the face on numerous occasions.

Caledonia Skytower reads selections from the 20th book in Pratchett’s Discworld series.

MONDAY December 27th at 7pm: SciFi Adventure - WINDS AT STARMONT by Terry Carr

 

Presented by Gyro Muggins -
SciFi Adventure
WINDS AT STARMONT

Two human sportsmen visit a planet named Starmont, called Hirrkaleorashe by the local peoples. Starmont is dominated by an umpteen-mile-tall volcano. The native inhabitants of the planet, the Wheest, have wings. The two human men don artificial wing suits, and with a native guide they attempt to fly to the top of Starmont, a task which is considered impossible to complete.

SUNDAY, December 26th at 1:30pm: TEATIME Holiday Radio Classics continues

 The Tea Time Crew continues their holiday classics series from the Golden Age of Radio 

THIS WEEK: "It's a Wonderful Life" featuring Corwyn Allen, Gloriana Maertens, Elrik Merlin, Kayden Oconnell,  and Caledonia Skytower, Live on stream.

An angel is sent from Heaven to help a desperately frustrated businessman by showing him what life would have been like if he had never existed. It's the story of George Bailey, a man who has given up his personal dreams in order to help others in his community, and whose thoughts of suicide on Christmas Eve brings about the intervention of his guardian angel, Clarence Odbody. Clarence shows George how he has touched the lives of others and how different life would be for his wife Mary and his community of Bedford Falls if he had not been born.

The radio drama is based on the 1946 film, considered one of the greatest films of all time. It was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and has been recognized by the American Film Institute as one of the 100 best American films ever made.

THIS WEEK at Seanchai Library

THURSDAY, December 16th at 7pm: THE SEASON In Music & Poetry

 


"While to the cheerful hearth and social board

Content and ease repair, the sons of want

Receive from niggard fate their pittance scant;

And where some shed bleak covert may afford,

Wan poverty, amidst her meagre host

Casts round her haggard eyes, and shivers at the frost."

~ from "Winter" by Anne Hunter

Ktadhn Vesuvino and Caledonia Skytower team up once more to share and hour of words and music of the season: some secular, some sacred.  Join us at the Seanchai Winter Holiday Skating Pond to share this time in skating, dancing, or just listening.

Presented live on stream and in SL Voice.

THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF EBENEZER SCROOGE

On a hot summer day some twenty years after he was famously converted to kindness, Ebenezer Scrooge still roams the streets of London, spreading Christmas cheer, much to the annoyance of his creditors, nephew, and his employee Bob Cratchit. However, when Scrooge decides to help his old friend and former partner Jacob Marley, as well as other inhabitants of the city, he will need the assistance of the very people he’s annoyed. He’ll also have to call on the three ghosts that visited him two decades earlier.

“A young artist returns to her cabin in the deep woods of Canada to concentrate on her illustrations. But somehow, strange and beautiful creatures are slipping into her drawings and sketches. The world of Faerie is reaching out to her for help--and she may be its last chance for survival.”
Willow Moonfire concludes Charles de Lint's tale, live.
