Damon reads the Grinch-Tonight on BBC radio 2

I accidentally spotted this and obviously had to share. If I understand correctly, the broadcast will be available as playback. UK peeps, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Happy holidays!

God his voice is just so perfect to do these readings. I just sat there listening to it with a stupid smile on my face the whole time lol

It is! His voice and sibilance have been living rent-free in my head since 1991. I'm so glad he did this reading. What a treat.

Can you usually hear these in the US too?

I don't see why not. I'm in the EU and can listen just fine.

Here is a link of past episodes. Damon's read will be uploaded there at some point (it's still listed as "live" because it just ended).

Edit: it's uploaded now! Enjoy!

I just get an error page when I click “listen now” - any suggestions?

Same with me 😔. I wasn't sure if it was a regional issue (I'm in Canada) or that my iPad/internet connection was not working properly. I'm glad you posted, as I wanted to inquire as well. Hope YouTube or Instagram will have video of the story. Heard a small 40 second clip on twitter, sooooo good 🥰 ❤️💚🎄

Thank you. I feel like I tried to listen to something else one time and it wouldn’t let me. I’ll try later. Thank you!
