In the spirit of Christmas, we've decided to take the week off (shocking, we know!) so in lieu of a new episode this week, we are re-airing on of our favorite original radio plays of recent years, A Gift, by friend of the show, Matthew P. Woerner.

In the flavor of Its a Wonderful Life, this original radio play is about a mysterious, magical shop where the customer might just find what they long for. When a woman takes a walk on Christmas Eve, she notices a shop she's never seen before—though the owner says it's been open for over 100 years. Why has she never noticed it before? And what amazing discovery will she make there?

Turn down the lights and curl up in front of the Christmas tree with this original radio play by Matthew P. Woerner and produced by AudioImagination77. A Gift is a delightful and heart-warming audio play with plenty of sound effects as well as original music. So close your eyes, get comfortable, and get into the holiday season in a thoroughly magical way.
