What’s up, dudes? Adam Parker Sibun from Merry Britsmas joins me to talk all things Spider-Man, especially The Amazing Spider-Man #314 by Michelinie and McFarlane! It’s got action, it’s got heart, it’s got…Peter and MJ getting evicted on Christmas Eve?!?? Curse that Parker luck! Could there be an Xmas miracle in store for everybody’s favorite wall-crawler? So fill up your web shooters, grab your camera, and swing into this episode!
Welcome to episode 33 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I talk about Yujiro Ishihara’s 1966 album, “Xmas Carol.” It’s a fantastic vocal album that should appeal to any fans of Perry Como or Andy Williams.
Before finding the LP, I first came across the flexi-disc version, which was released at the same time. Due to some misinformation, at first I thought it was a double-LP, then a set of two 45’s. I finally found an extremely affordable copy of it online which showed the flexis. I wasn’t collecting flexi-discs at the time, so I passed. The copies I’ve found since then are a little more than I’m willing to spend.
After receiving and listening to the album, without knowing anything about Ishihara, I developed a picture of him in my mind of a Ricky Nelson type who transitioned from teen idol roles to similar family-friendly fare as he got older. I was really surprised to read about his long career in tough guy roles, and his Sinatra-esque reputation in the industry.
One disappointing aspect of my research was that I couldn’t find a lot about his actual singing career. Wikipedia was light on the details, providing little more than a few lists of his albums and singles. He apparently started out as a brash, rebellious sort, before settling into more of a crooner role. However, he did maintain his rough, onscreen persona throughout his acting career.
Thanks for listening, and I hope you appreciated Yujiro Ishihara as much as I do. Join me back here on the 18th when I discuss the 1965 album, “Christmas Guitar Beat,” by the surf rock band, The Lotus. Then tune in on the 25th for Satoru Oda’s splendid “Tenor in X’mas” from 1964.
As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If have any suggestions, or if you’d like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know.

BZ reveals the name for his big Christmas sequel in a payoff to one of the movie’s most memorable moments! Then, back at the North Pole, Santa is sad… again. Join us as we discuss Minute 83 of Santa Claus: The Movie (1985).
Its bland base of bread or rice invites embellishment, both traditional and irreverent, and in dressing recipes, sausage, nuts, fruit, mushrooms, and shellfish combine in countless permutations. In contrast to the more predictable turkey, stuffing is the frisky, occasionally outlandish, personality of the holiday table. We’re explore the history and origins of stuffing.
Introductory Episode of The Christmas Alphabet Podcast.
Christmas Alphabet is a podcast about Christmas, in alphabetical order. Every two weeks we’ll have another letter, and more festive feelings and facts.

Great Christmas podcasts are made of one very simple ingredient: love.
That is the conclusion of two very different podcasts we feature in this episode.
One is two years old and has published dozens of episodes. The other is brand new, only weeks old.
Yet the commonality in their creation and the motivation for bringing it all online is surprisingly the same. In fact, we have found this in nearly every other podcast we have featured and we claim the very same for our own.
In this merry episode we talk with Rikki Meece of the Sleigh Bells and Mistletoe Christmas Podcast, a general Christmas podcast that dives deep into just about any Christmas subject. In a world of specialized Christmas podcasts Sleigh Bells and Mistletoe dares to cover it all.
We discuss with Rikki how her background in radio influences the creation and production of SBMX and how she manages to cover even more of the broad topics of Christmas by expanding the podcast’s presence on social media.
We also talk with Mark and Doug of the brand new Eggnogs and Yulelogs podcast, which has only been online just the past few weeks.
These creative guys have decided to cover the already-covered topic of Hallmark movies. But they do it with their own creative take – and, well, you just have to hear them explain it. They are fun, they are entertaining and they bring a lot of Christmas cheer.
