The Radio Riel Players Present Tales from New Babbage: The Red Haired Girl

"The Radio Riel Players Present" is Radio Riel's independent radio production of classic stories, poems and plays, all performed by The Radio Riel Players from around the world.

"Tales from New Babbage" are darker stories brought to you by the residents of the Steampunk City-State of New Babbage. As they say in New Babbage, what could possibly go wrong?

Good help is so hard to find, but what do you do when your family is complaining about a maid that you don't remember hiring? Tonight, New Babbage's favorite red, Junie Ginsburg, reads The Red Haired Girl, by Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924).

Sabine was an eclectic scholar and folklorist whose best known work is the hymn Onward Christian Soldiers. Oddly, he is also noted for writing The Book of Were-Wolves, the 16 volume The Lives of the Saints, and the popular Curious Myths of the Middle Ages, which was an overview of medieval superstition.

The Radio Riel Players Present: Tales from New Babbage, Christmas 2012

Imps. Gnomes. Elves. Call them what you will, there is something sinister hiding behind those pointy boots and jingle bells. For those of us that have had actual dealings with the wee, we know the truth. For our audio yuletide greeting this year, we present three tales of Christmas, each with a dreadful little man.

Vic Mullins reads Charles Dicken's other Christmas redemption tale, The Goblins that Stole a Sexton, which originally appeared in 1863 as part of The Pickwick Papers.

Junie Ginsburg reads A Christmas Fantasy, with a Moral, by Thomas Baily Aldrich, which first appeared in volume 43, issue 2 of The Century in 1891.

Emperor Ezra Crumb II reads 'Twas a Night Before a New Babbage Christmas, adapted from the Clement Clarke Moore poem by Salazar Jack, from Tales of New Babbage, Vol. 1, which was published last year at this time.

Deck the Halls, O Little Town of Bethlehem, Greensleeves, Edelweiss, We Three Kings, and We Wish you a Merry Christmas, and Silver Bells were arranged and performed by Canolli Capalini, some of which are available at Capalini Fine Furnishings in Babbage Canals.

Mysterioso March, The Path of the Goblin King, Moonlight Hall, Pop Goes the Weasel, Hidden Agenda, Wizardtorium, and It Came Upon a Midnight Clear written and performed by Kevin Macleod, and are available at his website at incompetech.com.

Additional material written by Kris Law and Mosseveno Tenk.

runtime 47:19

The Radio Riel Players Present: Tales from New Babbage, The Robber Bridegroom

"The Radio Riel Players Present" is Radio Riel's independent radio production of classic stories, poems and plays, all performed by The Radio Riel Players from around the world.

"Tales from New Babbage" are darker stories brought to you by the residents of the Steampunk City-State of New Babbage. As they say in New Babbage, what could possibly go wrong?

In 1812, the Brothers Grimm published the first edition of Household and Children's Tales. 300 years later, these same tales, half remembered from our own childhood readings, still haunt the dark corners of our minds. To celebrate the 300th anniversary the book that evolved into Grimm's Fairy Tales, we proudly present one of the grimmest of those stories. As gruesome as this tale is, it was not removed from the final editions, perhaps for its value as a cautionary tale.

Reader: Satu Moreau
Intro/Outro: Junie Ginsburg
Music: Sneaky Snitch and Darkest Child by Kevin MacLeod
Post-production: Mosseveno Tenk
Runtime: 11:40
