Episode 157 – Midwinter’s Day

Merry Christmas you beautiful people!

We start the show by looking at the Winter solstice in the Southern hemisphere. Is there an equivalent of Christmas in June when the South of the globe has its shortest day?

Then Bob Baker our resident barman looks at Wellington boots in Do You Hear What I Hear?

There’s no Christmas Quiz this episode, instead we have the triumphant return of Santa Banter, don’t worry it’s only for this episode.

Then Bob is back with Where Are You Christmas? and he’s looking at Bethelehem, but not the one you’re thinking of.

It’s called What Are We Gonna Get ‘Er Indoors? and it’s not great, but you can have a listen here:

This episodes recommendation is the autobiography of the actor Brian Blessed. It’s called Absolute Pandemonium and I’m thoroughly enjoying it.
