The Friends of Hanley Library at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford will present its 24th annual “Seasonal Readings” on WESB’s LiveLine program next week.
The show, which can be heard at 1490 AM, will be broadcast at 12:30 p.m. on Dec. 7.
Dr. Don Ulin, associate professor of English, will offer a program on “A Child’s Christmas in Wales,” by Welsh poet and writer Dylan Thomas.
Originally emerging from a piece Thomas wrote for radio in 1952, the story is an anecdotal retelling of a Christmas from the view of a young child, portraying a nostalgic and simpler time. It is one of his most popular works. The show will be available online at www.wesb.com/on-demand that afternoon.
The annual radio readings on WESB began in 1992 with the late Dr. Robert C. Laing Jr., professor emeritus at Pitt-Bradford. Since 2001, Ulin has carried on this treasured Bradford tradition.
