It's Christmas, and the station may be closed, but we're here doing the Sampler! So clear away the used wrapping papers, pour some more egg nog and tune in as Just Jess and Fortunato serve up some some holiday fun with special music, stories and guests. Once again, we'll be presenting some of the Father Christmas Letters by J.R.R. Tolkien read to us by Katherine Dunn. But new this year, we've added an appearance by local writer Chis Mancari to tells us about the creator of these Christmas stories and how they influenced the developemnt of his later works The Hobbit and its sequel. Also calling in, Professor Kitty will help us deconstruct our current radio mystery featuring Private Investigator Johnny Dollar in a special holiday adventure. Johnny's search for the elusive Katherine O'Dare, a witness to a New York gangland murder, has lead him to the wilds of Michigan.
