If You Like A Christmas Story…
Posted By Paul on January 4, 2007
If you like the movie A Christmas Story, arguably one of the best Christmas movies ever, then you really need to listen to this recording of Jean Shepherd, doing his radio show from the 1964 World’s Fair in New York City.
Shepherd, of course, was the screenwriter and narrator of A Christmas Story, which was based on some of his writings.
This recording is an exquisite look at the World’s Fair, done in a style that only Shepherd could manage. It’s also an amazing look at mid-20th century culture. And I found it to be humurous as all get out!
Note: you’ll probably want to be on a high-speed connection, as it is about a 10mb soundfile, and you’ll want to have a nice chunk of time to listen to this and fully appreciate it.
