Listen to WPPB's 'A Christmas Carol' Radio Play

The Charles Dickens classic is adapted for radio by 88.3 FM and available for download.

If you missed this month's broadcasts of Peconic Public Broadcasting's audio adaption of "A Christmas Carol," recorded last year in the radio station's Southampton studios, don't fret, because you can still find it online to listen anytime.

The one-hour abridged audio play can be downloaded by visiting peconicpublicbroadcasting.org or by clicking here.

With the belief that radio is the "theater of the mind," WPPB's production was inspired by Orson Welles' 1939 Campbell Playhouse adaptation, according to producer Bonnie Grice.
