Good morning from The Little Station on Commercial Street.
On today’s Daybreak, we look at the remarkable growth of the Newman Guide and what it may tell us about the demand for faithful Catholic education. Back home in Atchison, Benedictine College opens a window onto the American founding through its exhibition of rare early American documents.
Then we step into The Listening Room for something wonderfully seasonal: the 1974 BBC Saturday-Night Theatre production of The Ghost and Mrs Muir. A widow, a seaside cottage, and a former sea captain who has one inconvenient problem—he’s dead, but he hasn’t left.
Why does this strange mixture of ghost story, comedy, romance and loneliness work so beautifully on radio?
Along the way, a common thread emerges: inheritance—the schools, stories, ideas and memories we receive, preserve and hand on.
