I thought this was pretty cool and figured a lot of you would enjoy it as well. For those who don't know A Christmas Story is based on the writings of Jean Shepherd from his book "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash". Well back in the 70's Jean had his own radio show and around Christmas he would take the time out of regular programming to read some of the stories from his book. I don't know where I found this, it was on my computer from a while back, but here is a 45 minute mp3 recording of one of Jean's radio shows where he reads the original story of the Red Ryder BB gun. Anyone who is a fan of the movie will really enjoy this!
