Join the Christmas Cousins in a special episode as we pay homage to our grandfather, a distinguished WWII veteran who courageously stormed the beaches of Omaha on D-Day. On Veterans Day, we set aside our usual festive banter to share heartfelt stories, express gratitude, and honor the sacrifices made by all veterans.
This episode is a sincere salute to those who’ve selflessly served, with a focus on our beloved grandfather’s impactful role in history.
Tune in for a poignant and respectful tribute to the heroes who’ve shaped the world with their bravery and commitment. #VeteransDay #HonoringHeroes

In the fifty-second episode of 12 Days Pod, Cara and Dan discuss motivational speed painting, Duolingo’s sordid affairs, and Dan ranks his favorite frosted things.
While “the holidays” is not technically a scent, but we all know exactly what the phrase “smells like the holidays” means. Catching a whiff of those key spices evokes a warming feeling of comfort during the coldest months in the Northern Hemisphere. It is the smell of mulled wine or the sweet citrus combination with orange. This spice’s strong smell may have warded off evil. We’re exploring the history and origin of cloves.
Ken from the Sounds of Christmas talks to blues singer Lisa Biaels about her new album “At Christmas” and what led her to finally record a Christmas album (especially one that is made up of almost all original songs)!

Dear Christmas Cousins-we’ve got a festive frenzy on our hands! In the heart of Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas, the Christmas Cousins, Chad and Seth, are back to light up your holiday season. Grab your cocoa, snuggle up in that cozy blanket, and get ready for a jolly jamboree.
Seth, our intrepid festive freshman, is about to embark on a milestone journey with his 11th Hallmark Christmas movie, maybe even the 12th or 13th (who’s counting?). It’s the ultimate test of his yuletide spirit, and Cousin Chad is here to ensure he’s ready for this cinematic adventure.
Together, they’ll be your merry guides through Week 4’s selection, unwrapping cast performances, discovering key moments, and savoring the twinkling decor. Is it a tinsel-filled masterpiece or just another holiday humbug?
This week, they’ll also stack it up against their growing list of Hallmark favorites, with Seth’s goal of adding a few more to the watchlist. Will any of these charming stories steal the crown? You’ll have to listen to find out!
So, join us for a holly, jolly weekend preview that’ll leave you bursting with holiday spirit. It’s a festive fiesta you won’t want to miss!
In this episode, Cousin Seth flies Cousin Chad in for a visit to see Seth at his mega-mansion. Before they can get into too much merriment, Seth has to help a neighbor feed her pets while she is away.
The cousins head over to help out and, much to Chad’s shock, turns out…Seth’s neighbor is the inimitable Oprah Winfrey!
While recording live from her pet menagerie feeding room, they knock something over and discover-a possibly yet-to-be-released-copy of Oprah’s Favorite Things for 2023.
This episode has it all-mega-celebs, lifestyles of the uber-wealthy, great gift ideas, cute pets, even a horse and chariot ride…and with holiday spirit to spare! ENJOY!

What’s up, dudes? When people talk about the classics of Thanksgiving television, they always talk about the WKRP in Cincinatti’s “Turkeys Away” episode! My bud Vinnie Brezinsky from Huey and Bax joins me to gab–or is it gobble?–about this classic turkey drop!
The station is running so smoothly that Carlson is feeling useless and left out. He pries into everyone else’s projects, angering and annoying them in the process. Consequently, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He clandestinely plans a secret Thanksgiving Day publicity stunt. During disc jockey Johnny Fever’s segment, on-the-scene reporter Les Nessman gives live commentary of the spectacle. Actually, debacle is the correct term, because the stunt involved Carlson and Herb throwing live turkeys into the unsuspecting crowd from a helicopter. People run from the turkey bombs just as Johnny cuts the feed. Finally, Carlson, Herb, and Les return to the station and detail the horrific affair.
Based on a true story, this episode has comedy in spades! Drug references? Yep. Absurd ideas from incompetent bosses? Check. Turkeys hitting the pavement like sacks of wet cement? Definitely! So grab your microphone, hop in your chopper, and fly off into this episode about the classic WKRP Turkey Drop!
