This week we continue our long-standing December tradition on From the Vault and present another installment of Julio's Holiday Special - a collection of original holiday stories produced by KPFK's Arts and Review host Julio Martinez. You will be hearing three touching holiday stories this year: O' Henry's 1905 classic tale The Gift of the Magi, Julio Martinez's original World War One story Christmas Truce of 1914, and a brand new family tale of Hanukkah titled Dreidels and Donuts.
From the Vault is presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project, funded in part by an award from the GRAMMY Foundation and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission at the National Archives and Records Administration, and past grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ford Foundation, and the American Archive funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, along with the generous support of Pacifica Radio Listeners. We also thank our partners and collaborators at the Pop-Up Archive, Amara, Other Minds Archives, George Blood Audio, and the California Audio Visual Preservation Project.
