On Wednesday, December 15th, 2021, the weather outside the Pioneer Place on Fifth Theater was frightful, but the jolly inside was delightful as the Granite City Radio Theater Season 10 Episode 2 put a fresh layer of happy onto the holidays!
Special Musical Guests jazz pianist George Maurer and vocalist Judi Vinar joined house band Collective Unconscious for some amazing new original compositions.
Things got stranger and stranger for the Shade’s Brigade crew.

Stay Human is five years old this week, and to celebrate we’re throwing a surprise party for the program’s production staff – hardly the hardest working person in show business, but I’m doing what I can. Can’t cram even the best of five years into 59 minutes, but we’ll sample some of the music, and some of the values, that have helped us keep it up.
We’re lighting the Winter Solstice candles today on Stay Human, getting ready for the midnight of the year. Cozy up for a new children’s story by Matthew Miltich, and Terry O’Brien revisits The Wind in the Willows. Carol Hepokoski tells “Troll Girl, Winter Lady and the Hag of Winter” – that’s Troll Girl pictured here. It’s the right time of year for telling stories, great music, too!
We could not pass up the chance to chat with Bob King of the Astrobob blog one more time, and as luck would have it, he’s on a big adventure. Bob spoke with Dave from a cruise ship somewhere near the Falkland Islands.

In our Farewell episode, we look back at what Bearing Witness has meant to Anthony and Georgia and some of the moments that made it special. We also look ahead to where hosts see themselves moving forward. From, now, Pastor Anthony’s Ministry work to Georgia’s continued coverage as an independent journalist. Goodbyes are often hard; this one more than others.
