This Is the Story

The Old Curiosity Shop / Voltaire

English

This Is the Story presents stories drawn from literature and history in a radio dramatization format. The title pairs Charles Dickens’s The Old Curiosity Shop with Voltaire, suggesting a program that brings varied subjects and works to listeners through spoken performance.

Rather than a single continuous narrative, the program’s appeal lies in hearing stories interpreted for radio, where voices and dialogue carry the material. These selections offer a way to encounter literary and historical subjects through performance, with the focus on the story itself.

The result is a straightforward, story-centered listening experience for those interested in classic literature and radio drama.
