Season 3, Episode 12 – The Festive Foreign Film Fans Special Royal English Christmas/New Year’s Triple-Stuffed Podcast Episode Extravaganza (England – Part 2)

Festive Fans Unite! (send us a message)

Hey, Festive Fans, let nothing ye dismay, we’re back with Part Two of our super-sized Festive Foreign Film Fans Special Royal English Christmas/New Year’s Triple-Stuffed Podcast Episode Extravaganza!  Phew, if you think that’s a lot to say, just consider the exciting, action-packed show we’re describing.  It is a two-part journey across England and, along the way, we unwrap traditions old and new, share some of their Christmas music, eat Latvian piragi, and listen as our guests recall their own Christmas memories.  This episode is filled with real tidings of comfort and joy!  It is more stuffed than the man with the bag, and you know that’s what everybody’s talking about.  England has so much Yule merriment and festive atmosphere that we couldn’t fit it all into one show!

Come all ye faithful!  We have brought in some incredible people to create our audio content, so we don’t have to.  And, as loyal listeners know, we don’t give up the microphone lightly — you have to pry it out of our chubby little fingers.  We’ve already heard from Adam Parker Sibun from the “Merry Britsmas” podcast.  He gave us some of the unique details we crave (thanks to his Nan for her crazy gift-giving ideas), but we’ve only just begun to appreciate the story of Christmas in England.  For today’s journey, we have Jack Ford, from the “Total Christmas” podcast.  Jack and his show are the inspiration for the “Festive Foreign Film Fans”, so you can blame him.  He has, well, a total knowledge of British Christmas and is excellent at creating a fun holiday agenda.  We also talk to Matt Fitzpatrick, who is currently the 22nd top ranked golfer in the world and one of the Top 5 golfers from England. So what does Matt know about Christmas?  Enough to recognize that “Die Hard” is a Christmas movie.  Plus, he is a Sheffield United fan.

If you didn’t listen to Part One, let nothing ye dismay. What we explored last episode only built the foundation and set the stage for Part Two, where we now dive deeper into the sounds, customs, and curious details that bring an English Christmas to life. These Three Guests with Accents Are pretty special, providing us their own personal reflections. Through their stories, it’s no Silent Night as we hear how Christmas is experienced, remembered, and felt across the pond. We even find time to fit in our own choice for best British Christmas song and some royal trivia that may surprise even the most devoted Anglophile.

So don’t un-deck the halls or pack away the holly just yet.  Welcome back to the next chapter of our cozy, classic English Christmas tale.
