Backstory — The Cinnamon Bear
In 1937, radio audiences were introduced to The Cinnamon Bear, a magical twenty-six-part Christmas miniseries. Twins Judy and Jimmy search through the enchanted world of Maybeland for their lost Christmas ornament with the help of a talking bear.
The series delighted audiences for many seasons before falling out of the mainstream. But a new audience is discovering the program in the Internet age.
Thank you to Jack French from the Metropolitan Washington Old Time Radio Club for appearing on this episode.
