Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays! No new interview this week - but previous guest on the show Jay Wilson was gracious enough to give permission to have this audio project he created a few years ago - "Isn't That the Dickens"
Storyteller Jay Wilson transforms Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” into a poem called “Isn’t That The Dickens”. Complete with Scrooge, Cratchit, Tiny Tim and of course all the ghosts, this novella becomes “theatre of the mind.” Think of it as a radio play. Add wind, doors slamming, ticking clocks, rattling chains and assorted spooky sounds and you have yourself a new twist on a Christmas tradition. Delightful, amusing and entertaining.

In this episode I sat down and spoke with Mike and Linda Willis, a married couple who’ve seen firsthand how organ donation changes lives. Mike got a new heart when he needed it most, and Linda stepped up to donate a kidney. Now, they’re on a mission to get more people checking their donor status and making the choice to help save lives.
