The name’s Claus… MRS. Claus…

Have you ever wondered what Mrs. Claus does all year while Santa prepares for Christmas? Well, according to a new books series by author Liz Ireland, she solves mysteries. In today’s episode I interview Liz Ireland, and we talk about her excellent new Mrs. Claus cozy mystery series and of course there’s lots of talk about our favorite books, Christmas, movies and memories.

After my chat with Liz, I read you another classic Christmas story, “Mr. Bluff’s Experiences of the Holiday” written by Oliver Bell Bunce. It tells the story of Mr Bluff who dislikes holidays like Christmas. Will he, like many a Christmas protagonist before him, have a change of heart? Find out in today’s story!

Title: Mrs. Claus, P.I. with guest Liz Ireland

Halloween continues to be in full swing on the TGI Podcast! This week we are discussing ‘A Halloween Story’ from Season 1 of Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

For the first time on the show, Matt has a full-on visceral reaction to what he deemed to be a very stupid plotline. He also discusses how the content in this particular episode definitely should not have been geared toward families and children. He also plays a commercial that aired before the show that promoted the episode and it is among the cringiest things you’ll ever hear.

Settle in for what will undoubtedly be one of the most absurd episodes of sitcom television you’ve heard discussed!

I’m giving a Christmas movie recommendation, a TV episode/special recommendation and a Christmas book recommendation at the start of each episode, please commend and email us with how you think the recommendation went! Next, we take a look into the Russian Santa Claus: Ded Moroz, also known as Grandfather Frost. With a deep history going back well before Saint Nicholas and many Western Christmas figures, this magical man has a fascinating history and a great story as well. We also talk about some related Eastern European characters and finish with part 3 of the story of Santa Claus and how he knows so many languages, how did he learn them and why?

Christmas of the 20th Century takes a very progressive turn in Part 3 of this series, this one covering the 1920s.

It was a time of technological explosion and it touched nearly every part of Christmas. American homes were increasingly converted to electric service, making the use of washing machines, dishwashers, lights, and every imaginable appliance now a fact of modern living.

There were many devices that affected Christmas: the radio, the phonograph and the light bulb. All of these had a huge impact on Christmas.

In this episode we explore how Christmas changed with these innovations – and how Christmas played a part in bringing each to market.

Music was the biggest benefactor in bringing the industry of sound recording together with radio broadcasting. For the first time, diverse types of Christmas music were heard all over the country. And the country rose up to embrace it.

This episode features a wide variety of recorded music from this era known as the Roaring 20s.

There were other innovations that impacted thing – even non-electric stuff such as cameras and telephones. These items and how they were marketed, especially at Christmas, would go on to influence Christmas for generations.

Underlying all this innovation was a progressive time especially for women. This is another topic of exploration that, again, would influence Christmas more in the decades ahead.

This is a fun and expansive episode. In fact, we could – and probably will – get another couple of episodes out of this glorious time in Christmas history.

The days are getting shorter… A chill is in the air… The smell of candy corn lingers… That can only mean one thing: It’s time for HOME FOR THE HORRORDAYS!

For this year’s spookytimes, we’re spotlighting a pair of holiday horror sequels. On this episode, our pal Stuart joins us to bear witness to the wanton police brutality of Maniac Cop 2! They thought they killed the zombie cop the first time around, but now he’s back and he’s making some new friends…

Obviously, the idea of a maniac cop hits differently than it did in 1990. But that doesn’t mean the film isn’t without its pleasures. For one thing, there are some truly spectacular car chases and shootouts. Action hounds will be right at home here…
