Ben Ansell, a professor of Comparative Democratic Institutions at Nuffield College at the University of Oxford, is the British Broadcasting Company’s Reith lecturer. He talks with show host Rose Scott about his four lectures titled “Our Democratic Future.” WABE will air Ansell’s lecture this Saturday at 2pm. 

Plus, Christmas is just three days away. We revisit Rose’s conversations with Santa Rick, the founder of the Atlanta-based Northern Lights Santa Academy and Santa Dee.

We will then air WABE’s H. Johnson’s narration of “A Christmas Carol.”
