A Christmas Carol, Part 1 of 3, by Charles Dickens VINTAGE
Ebeneezer Scrooge rules his shop with an iron fist and a miserly glare. Perhaps a ghost or two can snap him out of it. Charles Dickens, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.

A Christmas Carol was the first Christmas story I tackled when I started the podcast back in 2007. I think most every actor would love to be involved in a production of A Christmas Carol, and I was no different.
11 years later, in 2018, when I saw how much I had grown as a narrator, and also how much my studio had improved, I decided to record this one again. This recording is the 2018 version, available in the anthology, The Christmas Stories of Charles Dickens. A link is available in the show notes.
And now, A Christmas Carol, Part 1 of 3, by Charles Dickens.

The Intrusion of Jimmy, Part 5 of 7, by P.G. Wodehouse
Safe and sound aboard a canoe on the lake, Jimmy can straiten things out with Molly. But how can he possibly win over her bulldog of a father? P.G. Wodehouse, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.
Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast. Thank you for listening.
The Vintage Episodes are coming back. Did we raise all that we needed to? No. But I don’t like going backwards. I think I went too big too soon. So, we’re going to do one vintage episode on Tuesdays, and one episode of new content on Fridays. The next one will be part one of A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens. This way you get some Christmas stories, along with the ongoing Wodehouse tale.

The Intrusion of Jimmy, Part 3 of 7, by P.G. Wodehouse

Well-to-do Jimmy broke into a house on a bet. He got help from Spike Mullins, a penny larcenist who happened to be burgling Jimmy. Together, they broke into the house of the grafting police captain, Mr. McEchern, who coincidentally was the father of the girl Jimmy had been smitten with on his recent steam ship travels.
A year later, Jimmy is in London, and is invited to stay at the country estate of Lord Dreever, a penniless noble with a moneyed and intimidating aunt and uncle. Due to an oversight, Jimmy must walk from the train station to the estate, and who should he meet on his way but Molly McEchern, the very girl who had so impressed him on the steamship, and whose father’s house he had bunglingly burgled.

The Intrusion of Jimmy, Part 2 of 7, by P.G. Wodehouse
A year of globe-trotting can’t cure Jimmy’s curious affliction. Will he ever get the remarkable girl from the steamer out of his head? P.G. Wodehouse, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.
Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast. Thank you for listening.

Last week, we met Jimmy, who had just returned to America from England, and was smitten with a girl he met, kind of. Their eyes met, but they never spoke. On returning to New York, Jimmy’s flat was broken into by Spike Mullins, who Jimmy took a liking to. Spike and Jimmy then broke into the home of Mr. McEchern, the grafting chief of police, and the father to the enigmatic girl Jimmy saw on the steamer.

The Intrusion of Jimmy, Part 1 of 7, by P.G. Wodehouse
Everyone says that Jimmy is the same jolly chap as ever, even after coming into money. So why does he agree to break into a house? P.G. Wodehouse, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.
Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast. Thank you for listening.
Well, I hate to say it, I mean I really hate to say it, but we’ll be suspending the vintage episodes for a bit. Right now, it’s too cost prohibitive. But here’s what I’d like to do about it:
If we get enough new supporters, we can start it up again. So please go to http://classictalesaudiobooks.com and become a supporter for $5 a month. We’ll send you a coupon code every month for $8 off any audiobook order, and hopefully we’ll be back with more vintage episodes before you know it.
Today’s story is a standalone Wodehouse title. It’s not part of a series, and like a lot of his books, contains both American and British characters. I hope you like it.
I particularly enjoy his reference to Arsène Lupin. Keep an ear open for it!

Love the vintage episodes
The show always has great narration and a fun selection of stories. I’m especially loving the new vintage episode releases, as I haven’t heard so many of these before. Please keep it up- It’s greatly appreciated!
Outstanding Professionalism and Talent
I’ve been a faithful ClassicTales Podcast listener for many years. The selections are often surprising and rare, but always welcome. I’ve discovered a love of classic literature through the podcast.
But now there are even more reasons to listen and to support the podcast! Vintage episodes! I’m loving them so much!
And “The Closed Cabinet” with a guest narrator is absolutely gripping! Bravo, Mr. Harrison!
