Today we commune with the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. Jared Bowen, Callie Crossley, and Edgar B. Herwick III co-host this month’s Wednesday Watch Party and revisit all the screen lives of “A Chistmas Carol.” Dickens’ tale has been adapted hundreds of times — from silent films and mid-century classics to animated versions, musicals, and comic riffs. The hosts ask listeners what versions resonate the most with them and who is their favorite Scrooge.
Jared Bowen is the Emmy award-winning Executive Arts Editor and host of The Culture Show, a daily radio program and podcast at GBH exploring the creative process through a lively mix of local and national artist profiles, performances and exhibitions.
Edgar B. Herwick III is an award-winning journalist who hosts The Curiosity Desk, GBH News’ daily show where he answers your questions, digs deeper into trending topics and explores some of the everyday mysteries hiding in plain sight. He is also co-host of GBH News’ The Culture Show.
