Charles Dickens's classic holiday story of Ebenezer Scrooge's redemption is 180 years old, and the number of adaptations across film, television, and media continues to grow each holiday season. Chris welcomes Alan Foulds, local author, historian, Town Moderator of Reading MA, and host of the podcast "It's Also History" for "A Christmas Carol Retrospective". Chris and Alan discuss various versions, their strengths, their weaknesses, and what makes them stand out in the vast library of A Christmas Carol adaptations.
