The one-man show version currently on Broadway performed by Jefferson Mays is excellent. Sometimes I find myself wondering if there is any need for another version of A Christmas Carol and this sort of answers that question.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nSteve:\\xa0Singer/songwriter Jessica Pratt is very highly regarded and I wanted to get into her music, but I had trouble until I listened to the song, Back, Baby. Also, saxophonist Ike Quebec. I am absolutely digging his album Blue & Sentimental.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nPodcast production by Cameron Drews. Production assistance by Yesica Balderrama.\\n\\xa0\\nOutro music is "Stone Cookies" by Dusty Decks.\\n\\nIf you enjoy this show, please consider signing up for Slate Plus.
