🎄 It’s another Scrooge Sunday, which means we’re about to be haunted by a series of spirits as we ride the airwaves back to 1980 for a version of “A Christmas Carol” set in the studios of “WKRP in Cincinnati.”
🎙️ Gerry Davila, Scott Leopold, and Michael May join us on a trip through time that definitely wasn’t fueled by special brownies, so stop asking.
📺 You can find “Bah, Humbug” on the Internet Archive.

Hello you beautiful people!
We start the show with the second batch of Christmas songs from the US sent in by Jason Matusiak, and we see if I’ve heard any of them (spoiler, no I haven’t).
Then Bob Baker talks about Christmas Adverts or Commercials in Do You Hear What I Hear?
Next up it’s The Christmas Quiz and I scored 8. Make sure to email in your score.
Then Bob Baker returns with Where Are You Christmas? and this time he’s found it in Slovenia.
Check out Bob’s podcast here: https://4fpodcast.buzzsprout.com
Back in the 90s Jim Henson’s Workshop teamed up with Dr Seuss (or at least his estate) and created the Wubbulous World of Dr Seuss, we look at the episode Mrs Zabarelli’s Holiday Baton. Sadly it’s not half as good as it all sounds.
This episode’s recommendation is Something Rhymes with Purple Podcast hosted by Gyles Brandreth and Susie Dent. It’s all about the English language and is very interesting.
