The Six Shooter - "Britt Ponsett's Christmas Carol" (Old Time Radio, 1953)

The Six Shooter presents “Britt Ponsett’s Christmas Carol,” originally broadcast on December 20, 1953. This Christmas special is episode 14 of the NBC Radio Network western, starring James Stewart as Britt Ponset.

Near Thompson’s Corners on a mild winter morning, Britt meets Johnny, a young rider who has lost heart in Christmas. Around a campfire, the Texas plainsman shares a frontier-flavored retelling of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, centered on a wealthy ranch owner named Eban. Written by Frank Burt and produced by Jack Johnstone, the episode also features Howard McNear.

Old Time Retro Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
