A Trilogy of Holiday Traditions
Produced by: Steve Wadhams
Iris Yudai
The holiday season is a time of traditions sometimes nostalgic, sometimes quirky. In this program, three public radio listeners share their holiday stories. Cameron Phillips takes us inside the wonderful and horrible world of craft shows. Cathy De Rubeis tests out a special fruitcake recipe to see if she can reverse the backlash to the holiday dessert. And all her life, in all the places she's lived, Caroline Woodward has found a way to sing - from anxiously performing Christmas carol solos on stage as a young girl to feeling joy and zest today with her choir. This program was produced by Iris Yudai and Steve Wadhams from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation series Outfront. This program is part of the international documentary exchange series Crossing Boundaries.

Program Credits

Our stories today came from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's series OutFront. Christmas Crap and Fruitcake were produced by Iris Yudai, and the producer for Keep on Singing was Steve Wadhams.
