Christmas: a Holiday like No Other – an Interview with Author Kevin Moore

Today I sit down with author Kevin Moore who has published two volumes of Christmas stories. First we talk about the joy that Christmas can bring, even during difficult times (which has been the unofficial theme of my podcast this year!). Then we dig into his book and talk about some of the short stories in it. Then we dive deep into the joy of Christmas and talk about our favorite Christmas things, the surprising differences between an LA and New York City Christmas (hint – it involves graveyards), and ways to spread Christmas kindness to our neighbors!

Stay tuned – on Friday another episode will be out, and Kevin will be back to read one of his stories!

Find out more about Kevin and order his books here: https://kevinmoorepublishing.com/

“You just put me on to Penatonix!” (Meet Me Next Christmas)

A big thank you to all of our Veteran listeners and a Happy Monday to everyone else! 🎖️

This week, Julia and Anthony catch up on what movies Anthony has seen, what they’re excited about coming to theaters, and Anthony’s upcoming trip to Tulsa be tackling the brand-spankin’ new Meet Me Next Christmas. Prepare to hear an unseemly amount of Penatonix talk that is somehow still less than what’s covered in the movie. 🎵

So grab your favorite holiday drink (we’re thinking peppermint hot chocolate!), wrap yourself in your coziest blanket, and settle in by the fireplace for this festive episode. Whether you’re trimming the tree or wrapping presents, we’ll keep you company with all the Christmas movie chat you need!

Christmas Podding – Is Christmas Craft kids do in Schools actually teachers revenge on Parents?

This week on Christmas Podding, Australia’s ONLY Christmas Podcast we ask the question how much is too much when it comes to suburban Christmas Lights displays. Do you have to consider the neighbours or do you go big or go home?

We unpack the next instalment of who ruined Christmas. Stories from around the world as to the unfortunate events that wrecked Christmas Day, plus

We look at the mountain amount of Christmas Craft our kids have started bringing home from school and dig deep to find out of its a deliberate way teachers can plan subtle revenge on annoying parents.

Join your hosts Liam and Ness as they talk all things Christmas all year long on Christmas Podding.

Season’s Eatings – Second Helping Wassail

This warm winter beverage has its origins in folklore and could be connected all the back to Roman times.  It was meant to wake up apple trees and has evolved into going door to door singing carols during the twelve days of Christmas.  We’re exploring the history and origins of wassail.

Episode 120 – A Christmas Karen

Welcome to the show!

We start off with another tradition from Cornwall here in the UK.  It’s called the Cornish Kissing Bunch and it’s a Christmas wreath but with a twist.

Then Bob Baker, our resident bar tender, looks at the British word ‘Git’ in Do You Hear What I Hear.

This episode’s version of A Christmas Carol is A Christmas Karen from 2022.  It’s a modern twist on the classic tale and it ain’t that good.
You can watch it for free if you have Amazon Prime, and here’s a bit more info:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14219486/

Remember last episode we talked about Seth’s Christmas Ghost Stories and I gave you the opportunity to win 3 of them.  Well we draw out the winner with our special guest star Juno from I’m Not Complaining Podcast.

Jay Gonzalez and Christmas/Not Christmas Songs

Earlier this season, I interviewed The Drive-By Truckers’ Patterson Hood about his ambivalent relationship with Christmas music. This week I talk to the Truckers’ long-time guitarist Jay Gonzalez, who takes a different path to a similar place. We talk about his relationship to the band as a full-time member since 2008 who isn’t Hood, Mike Cooley, or long-time drummer Brad Morgan, and his love of Christmas songs that might or might not be Christmas songs.

Along the way, I play music from his Roll Up a Song by Gonzalez Smith and Jay Gonzalez Inflatable Orchestra Vol. 1.
