This week, we dive into funk Christmas music. Artists include The Soul Saints Orchestra, Electric Jungle, J.D. McDonald, Travis Adney, Snoop Dogg, and Jimmy Jules and the Nuclear Soul System.
It’s Episode 27, and it’s our birthday, 1 glorious year.
This episode we have our anniversary spectacular and believe me when I say we have spared every expense celebrating 12 months of this drivel.
We begin the show with Santa Claus is NOT Coming to Town, and our newly (self) appointed Most Valued Listener, Eddie Honan, tells the tale of how his dad let slip the truth about Saint Nick.
Then we have the triumphant return of Robin Sings. Our darling songstress entertains us all with two humorous renditions of Jingle Bells.
Then we discuss all the wonderful treats that Santa receives as he’s making his way around the globe.
After that it’s a look at The Christmas Toy. 9 years before Pixar stole their idea, Jim Henson and the Muppets had a wonderful Christmas special about toys that come to life.
This week’s recommendation is This Is Love by Phoebe Judge. It’s a delightful podcast that we hope you’ll enjoy. Here’s a link: https://thisislovepodcast.com/

Happy Monday, Christmas fanatics! We hope you had an incredible Easter weekend and the Easter Bunny was good to you all! This week, the elves gather to discuss the two Christmas episodes of the hit 80’s show, “ALF”! For those of you who want to watch along at home, the episodes discussed are:
Season 1, Episode 12 – Oh, Tannerbaum
Season 2, Episodes 11 and 12 – ALF’s Special Christmas
When it comes to the infamous Season 2 holiday special in particular, the elves take a pretty deep, extensive dive into the history of this baffling episode, which left all three quite depressed and confused, and allows Julia to go on a disappointed rant for the first time in a long time. While there’s plenty of love and nostalgia for “ALF” the show and ALF the character – especially on the parts of Thom and Anthony – is it enough to rank both of these episodes high? Or does the true story that inspired the second episode, in addition to its overly saccharine and contrived nature, bog it down?
Also discussed in this episode: the elves talk about the results of the Round 1 voting for the Tis the Podcast March Madness bracket to determine the Ultimate Christmas movie; the trailer for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad; Anthony teases the newest tattoo he’s getting; listener answers to the Question of the Week are read; and much, much, much more.
So settle in and relax with your leftover Easter Chocolate, open those windows and allow that cool Spring breeze inside, allow the elves to take you back in time to the 80’s on a trip to Melmac, and enjoy this fun episode! And get excited because, now that we are post-Easter, we are one major holiday closer to Christmas!
Also – make sure to keep your eyes on your podcast feeds this upcoming Thursday for the next chapter (Chapter Ten!) of Another Christmas Story as read to you by our very own Anthony Caruso!
*Note: The deep dive article into “ALF’s Special Christmas” that the elves repeatedly refer to in this episode can be found at the following link.*

Happy Easter, Christmas Fanatics! With the weather outside finally warming up, signaling the arrival of Spring, we here at “Tis the Podcast” wanted to show our appreciation for you by sharing a very special Easter episode of the show in which Julia, Thom, and Anthony cover the 1977, Rankin/Bass stop-motion-animation special, “The Easter Bunny is Comin’ to Town” – the quasi-sequel to 1970’s Christmas classic, “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town“! This once Patreon-exclusive episode is a blast from the past, so travel back one year ago as the three hosts discuss this not-very-original holiday special, and listen as Thom does an impression of one of the characters that ranks up there as the best impression ever heard on “Tis thePodcast“! Enjoy! And Patrons – make sure to check your Patreon feeds today in which you’ll find a new Patreon-exclusive Easter episode, in which the elves cover the 1976 traditionally animated Rankin/Bass special, “The First Easter Rabbit“!

“God rest ye murdered gentlemen let nothing you dismay…”
Can a murder mystery be cozy? It can when in the capable hands of author Vicki Delany and her cozy mystery series, The Year-Round Christmas Mystery series. We head to Canada for a wonderful chat about her books. Unfortunately Rudolph, NY, where the series is set and Christmas is celebrated year round, is NOT a real place… but a Christmas podcast host can dream, right? And besides, who wouldn’t want to catch a sight of Santa in his swimsuit, am I right?…. Hello? Anyone? Just me?
After my talk with Vicki I read another selection from The Life of Our Lord by Charles Dickens and I have a serious moment and share some Easter meditations I’ve been thinking on lately. I also share another listener memory and talk about some Christmas snacks.
Grab your egg nog (yum!) and some marshmallow peeps (barf), it’s a Christmas and Easter episode!

Happy Easter, ya’ll! This week we are discussing “The Easter Show” from the sixth season of The Drew Carey Show.
Matt talks about his history with the show in general, how much Drew’s friends are jerks, why he wanted to turn the episode off within the first five minutes and, of course, determines whether or not this should be deemed an Easter classic!
In addition to discussions about this episode of The Drew Carey Show, Matt also talks about what is coming ahead in the future on the podcast, including what to look out for this July 👀. Matt also talks about where you can hear him on some other podcasts talking Christmas episodes of Boy Meets World and Perfect Strangers!
