Season 6! Amazing, and it is thanks to all of you listeners and subscribers! Kicking off Christmas Podcast Day (Nov 1st), I'm joining with my fellow Christmas podcasters to discuss It's a Wonderful Life or at least some rendition of it.
Discover the remarkable short story that inspired one of cinema's most beloved Christmas films. In this episode, we explore Philip Van Doren Stern's The Greatest Gift, the tale that became the foundation for It's a Wonderful Life." Learn how a simple Christmas card story evolved into Frank Capra's masterpiece, uncover the key differences between the original and the film, and understand why this forgotten gem deserves its place in Christmas literary history. This episode is perfect for fans of classic Christmas stories and anyone who loves the timeless message that every life has value.
