You'll Never Get Elected, Charlie Brown. You Have No Way Of Winning. No Way.
/

Surprise! We know Election Day can be stressful for many people, both in America and abroad – especially when the president himself/herself is being chosen – so we decided to record this very non-political, fun episode to drop today for those of y’all who want to tune out the news, distract themselves from real world events, and relax for an hour. Join Julia, Thom, and Anthony as they are joined by Todd Killian of Christmas Clatter Podcast to discuss the 1972 television special, You’re Not Elected, Charlie Brown! This one’s a special one because, despite the fact that they all have history with the Peanuts, Anthony is the only one who’s ever seen this election day special in the past, so the other two hosts and their special guest are going in blind. Will they enjoy it? How does it hold up against other Peanuts holiday’ fare? And is it a nice introduction to the cynical world of politics for young children while still entertaining them with the cartoonish hijinks of Snoopy, Woodstock, and Charlie Brown? Spoiler Alert – this is a very fun episode, filled with laughs and quotes, that you do not want to miss. And don’t worry – no real life politics are discussed within, so if you’re looking for full escapism today, you’ll find it here in an episode that is also full of the pre-requisite amount of Christmas cheer! So grab your favorite holiday drink from Starbucks, get in line to Vote if you haven’t already, put those earbuds in, and enjoy this special bonus episode.

Tracking Santa App Update

Tracking Santa App

Tracking Santa AppThe Tracking Santa App is coming! In this merry and brief episode of the North Pole Podcast Elf Frank Myrrh talks with Elf Winslow, who was put in charge of the app project last spring.

Elf Winslow confirms that the app is coming this year. He spoke of the instruction Santa gave about the app and what he had heard of what people wanted in a tracking app. Key to the project is the Santa tracking map that people want on their phones.

Winslow confirms this feature will be available — along with North Pole Radio via Kringle Radio that features North Pole Radio News. Tracking Santa on the map then will match tracking Santa on the radio and app users will have both in one convenient place.

The app is in testing now and should be available for Android users soon. The Apple version of the app will become available later.

Season 2 Lineup Reveal and Kickoff!
/

The boys are back and ready to do what they do best: find the best Christmas TV episodes ever made. But to do that, they need to figure out what episodes they’ll be watching in season 2! To change things up, they say goodbye to the random selector and welcome a new draft format. Five weeks of shows, new episodes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and themed weeks to center their picks around. 

Over the course of the draft other discussion topics include: Mortal Kombat, whether or not Jennifer Garner ruins the projects she’s in, obscure streaming services, and against all odds, the brief return of Newgrounds. 

New episodes begin in earnest on Monday, Nov. 23! We hope you’ll join us!

Podcast Bio: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
/
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph the Red Nosed ReindeerRudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is the most famous reindeer of all. Bigger than Dasher or Dancer or Vixen. Comet or Cupid or Donner or Blitzen. And he’s about 110 years younger too.

That is only the first part of this amazing story of popular culture of Christmas in the 20th century. Rudolph, in fact, is as big a legend in the 20th century as Scrooge was in the 19th century. And that’s saying something of a character who was written for a department store give-a-away.

The year was 1939 and fame Chicago department store Montgomery Wards gave writer Robert May the task of coming up with a Christmas character for children. The character did not need to Scrooge-like — he just had to fit within the pages of a simple coloring book that would be given away to children who lined up to visit Santa Claus in their stores.

May went to work and quite nearly screwed it up. He decided to feature a reindeer based on the simple fact that his young daughter loved reindeer and the part they played in Santa’s story. So May created a reindeer he decided to name Rudolph.

The trouble came when May decided to give Rudolph a distinct feature: his bright red nose.

Ironically, just like the in the story itself, that crazy nose of Rudolph’s created some trouble. May’s boss was not so sure a character in a children’s book should sport a red nose. It might infer that Rudolph had a drinking problem.

Such were the sensibilities in pre-war America in 1939.

~ Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer for the Christmas Hall of Fame ~

But May got past that by showing Rudolph visually to his boss — the story was saved and a Christmas legend was born.

Here we are, now 81 years later, talking about Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer entering the Christmas Hall of Fame.

And why not?

Rudolph has sold more books, more records, and more videos of his story than just about any other Christmas creation in the past 100 years — including the prodigious Christmas works of Bing Crosby, Jimmy Stewart, Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra combined.

Rudolph sells.

And he appeals to children like no other character every created. Well, except for Santa Claus.

Will you vote for him in the Christmas Hall of Fame?

Happy Halloween! The final story in our trilogy of terror and weirdness comes from Charles Dickens. Gabriel Grub is a mean old sexton, and we find him digging a grave late on Christmas Eve. What could possibly go wrong?

This has been a fun way to celebrate Halloween during quarantine, and also to read some classic scary Christmas stories. I’ll have a new regular episode out on Monday! Stay safe, and eat lots of candy for me tonight.

Episode 16 - Christmas Plants
/

It’s Episode 16 of The Total Christmas Podcast and this show is packed to the rafters.

We have the worst present ever.  It’s a secret Santa gift, and this secret Santa should be thoroughly ashamed of himself.

The perfect gift idea is a personalised wine, beer or coffee glass.  There’s an endless selection and it’ll probably break within a year so you can buy them the same gift next year.  It’s the gift you keep giving.

Thanks to a listener suggestion, this episode I give a list of plants that will flower around Christmas time and make for the perfect decorations in and outside your house.

Then Benji Pearson shares his story of shame.

The version of A Christmas Carol we look at was from an episode of A Shower of Stars.  It stars Frederic March as Scrooge and Basil Rathbone as Jacob Marley, and it’s not the best.
If you want to watch it, here’s a link:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih5NNa6PEvA&list=RDXT0Rzy5Op2Q&index=11

The Yule Lad of the week is called Sausage Swiper.  The name pretty much says it all.

The recommendation is Totally Rad Christmas.  A podcast hosted by friend of the show Gerry D.  Each episode he and a guest look at the things that made Christmas in the 80s so rad.  Whether it’s a film, TV show, toy or song +it’s loads of fun and I was the guest on episode 32.
