About this podcast:
Hosted by Rikki Meece and Mary Richards, the Sleigh Bells and Mistletoe Christmas Podcast was launched in July of 2019.
The podcast features expert guests on a wide variety of Christmas topics. The podcast is flavored by the Christmas interests of the hosts — Rikki is a vintage Christmas enthusiast with an affection for things from Christmas past. Mary tends to enjoy the romantic “feels” of all things Christmasy, with a soft spot for Hallmark Christmas movies. You could say that Rikki is “sleigh bells” while Mary is “mistletoe”.

Hi Rikki, Y Mary.. Great- ness abides here. I listened to several podcasts. Myself being a EX radio/ podcasting /VO etc.. GUY, I love all things AUDIO .like in the old days de radio. Storytelling has a complete different story when Its in SOUND form! I love behind the scenes and music and sound EFX.. I listened to several stories and found that your podcasting and interviewing skills are amazing. However I listen to your Traffic and news casts constantly!! I love and admire all you broadcasters. @ KSL. Anyway I was enthralled by your speaking with the Santa that lost his hearing. and was able to recover. So I’m a huge fan already of anything Rikki and Mary. I’m honored just to listen to you both! So yes I’m a stalker of the… earS. SO TO SAY., I even got a scoosh emotional. so well done. And I loved the ALT/New Wave podcast you enlightened my listening to just the classics out there. Thank you from the bottom de me heart for you and your local voice and all things X-MAS!! You’ve got another fan again,., even though I was already! haha have happy Christmas to you and your fam. Always
