Holiday Inn Part 2: Bing and Fred Together, Pearl Harbor, Fireworks and Controversial Lincoln

Open Holidays Only!

Irving Berlin was now ready to work with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire to bring his story of a hotel only open on holidays to life. But there was concern to see how well their personalities would work together. They still had to find their unknown to play Linda as well.

Even with the production going well, Pearl Harbor would happen. Learn what they changed about one of their songs. Also learn how White Christmas would become famous on the battlefield. Also, we’ll dive into the controversial blackface sequence that may the reason not many people talk about Holiday Inn any more

Hello you beautiful person.  It’s here, Episode 30, was it worth the 2 weeks wait?
Probably not.

We start by discussing At This Time of Year by Big Brother UK winner Craig Philips.  As songs go, let’s just say it’s as good as you’d expect from a reality show winner, but it is for a worthy cause.  Fancy a listen?  here’s a link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhxbP5o9DoE

We have another joke from our listener Benji Pearson, will it match the hilarity of last episode’s joke.  You decide.

We have a book review of The National Geographic Kids Weird But True Christmas.
300 “facts” to bore your friends with.

Then we look at X-mas Marks The Spot, a Christmas episode of The Real Ghostbusters cartoon where the Ghostbusters meet Scrooge and the 3 Christmas Ghosts.
If you fancy watching it, here’s a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0Dx2JIVWx8

Scotland has a rich and amazing history.  We’ve found a dish that has largely fallen out of favour, but is a treat on Christmas eve.  It’s full of probiotics, or could be use to paint your house.  Let’s explore the history and origins of this creamy sour treat: sowans.

Happy Monday, Christmas aficionados! This week, join Julia, Thom, and Anthony as they journey back to the wonderful world of Rankin/Bass to discuss the 1975 holiday special, “The First Christmas: The Story of the First Christmas Snow”! Can the incomparable Angela Lansbury not only save this special for the podcast’s Rankin/Bass skeptics and – dare-we-say – actually make this production an enjoyable experience for them? Or, like so many of the stop-motion-animated specials before it, does this one not elicit any Christmas feels from our hosts? The only way to find out is by settling in and listening to this fun, episode!

Enjoy, y’all! And keep your eyes on your feeds this upcoming Thursday for the next installment of “Another Christmas Story” – Chapter Sixteen, which will be read to you by the incredible writer, Nicole Little!
