TGI Podcast is BACK with an early episode to celebrate Valentine’s Day! In this episode, Matt heads back to the land of Boy Meets World to discuss ‘First Girlfriends’ Club’ from Season 5 of the show.
This episode features discussions about terrible plot lines, how Jack hit a classic sitcom trope we saw earlier in the year in a Full House episode and why money is better than chocolate. As always, we end the podcast by determining whether this episode should be deemed a Valentine’s Day classic!

We start with a Story of Shame form one of the co-hosts of Jingle Jank, Jay Lachapelle, will the young ever learn that no good will come from peeking at your Christmas presents?
Hard to believe, but this is the first time we look at one of the major versions of A Christmas Carol. This is the 1984 one starring George C Scott as Scrooge and a host of British actors in the supporting roles. It’s a fantastic version and if you’ve never seen it, it’s on YouTube.
Plus there’s a very bad quiz where you have to guess if the actors from this version of A Christmas Carol ever appeared in Dr Who.
Robin and Juno sing Away In A Manger and manage to get most of the words right.
This Episode’s recommendation is Gossipmongers. In my opinion it’s the funniest podcast out there. Here’s a link: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/gossipmongers/id1454848064

What’s up, dudes? Today’s Candlemas, the official end of the Christmas cycle and season 1 of TRC! To celebrate, I made a Top Five list of my favorite ’80s-ish movies, joined by Robert Nicholas of the Behind the Bells podcast! It’s a Christmaspalooza! No…a Christmastravaganza! Hmmm…meh, I’ll figure out a dope name for it sooner or later. Anyway, enjoy the end of season 1, and watch out for season 2 coming soon! Dig it!
In our first podcast, I just wanted to mention a bit about the Sounds of Christmas, how we got here and what we do, and set the stage for what I hope will be a fun series of interviews with people who love Christmas music.

Happy February and Happy Valentine’s Day Month! To kick off the latest holiday, Matt is diving into the world of The Simpsons for the first time on this podcast to cover ‘I Love Lisa’ from the show’s fourth season.
Matt discusses why Ralph Wiggum is one of the most lovable characters in TV history, how The Simpsons may have inspired Breaking Bad and how The Simpsons can continue to bring so much joy all these years later. Just as we do every week, we also determine if this should be a Holiday classic!

The future of Christmas present is definitely on the minds of many as we head into the New Year. What just happened? How do we explain the Christmas we just experienced?
Try as we might to predict ahead of time what Christmas 2020 would be like we still have been flooded with feedback about the Christmas we all just went through. For many of us, it was a Christmas unlike any other in our lifetime.
But – it’s not like history has not recorded a Christmas like this.
In this episode we look back to the Christmas of 1943 – a dark, unexpected, unusual and isolated Christmas that saw many separated from their families for the first time. Framed by Bing Crosby’s classic, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”, the lessons of Christmas 1943 are learned through not only the sacrifices of those in our family past but also of those from every side who found a way for their humanity to command in a time of war.
We share the incredible story of a real combat mission flown over Germany on December 20th, 1943 when an American B-17 bomber commanded by Lt. Charles Brown was shredded by German air defenses and 15 German fighters. The tells the impressions of German Pilot Franz Stigler who couldn’t believe the American plane was in the air. His choices were stark: he could shoot them down and win Germany’s highest wartime honor for aviators or he could risk court martial and certain execution by allowing the B-17 to escape to safety.
It was a story not only of Christmas 1943 but one that took 50 years to resolve when Lt. Brown met Franz Stigler in the 1990s.
The lessons of humanity a there for us to learn from every Christmas. We also share a simple story of a loss we suffered on the Merry Forums – and how the discovery of our simple community taught a grieving daughter a new level of love from her Mother who spent so many years with us online.
This thoughtful episode contemplates but does not predict the Christmas coming to us next.
Instead it projects what Christmas can be — if we can only remember what it is all really about.
We’re back baby!
and don’t pretend you haven’t missed us.
It’s a brand new year and what better way to get the new season off to a start than having some technical problems. That’s right kids, you’ll be sure to notice some sound issues with this one and there’s a simple explanation. . . I’m crap.
First off Robin and Juno sing the all time classic Jingle Bells.
Then we have an interview with the wonderful Tilly Smith who runs the Cairngorm Reindeer Centre in Scotland. To learn a bit more here’s a link:

This week’s version of A Christmas Carol is the very forgettable (or at least I hope I can forget it) version by Pink Fong. It’s only 5 minutes long so you may as well have a gander, here’s a link:
The recommendation is The Truth from Radiotopia. It’s a great podcast and each episode is a different story / radio play. I highly recommend the episode Naughty or Nice which is about some elves at the North Pole. Here’s your link:
