  • Carry-on

    Just listened to the Carry-on podcast with Jason Bateman. Will definitely give it a watch on the Treadmill

    Thanks for all the great shoutouts especially the reference to treadmill movies. Agree that treadmill movies would rarely rate more than an 8 out of 12

    Merry Christmas to all

    See you next week

  • How Can You Not Love These Two?

    I am a full-fledged member of the Cara and Dan Fan CLub. They have such a great connection and interact -- and disagree -- so well. Their show is a pick-me-up after a long day or at the end of a hectic week. I take them with me on my walks and people must wonder why I am smiling and laughing to myself. What a treat!

  • Been listening since Season 1

    I started again from Episode 1. We’ll see if I can catch up to the current season by Christmas. I knew this would be a favorite podcast after the Muppet Christmas Carol episode. Never felt so seen. Cara and Dan are lovely, and now I look forward to this podcast every year. Definitely a 12 drummers drumming in my book.

  • Better than a cup of hot chocolate

    I am so glad I found your podcast. You both are charming and delightful to listen to including but not limited to your relaxing voices. I started with one episode and am now binge listening to the entire catalog. You most definitely have brightened my holiday season this year and Santa knows I needed. I give you 12 twelve drummers drumming. Thank you so much for making this podcast. Let’s be best friends lol 🥰🎄

  • I love the great chemistry between the couple

    I love the intro of this podcast; although we aren't in the Christmas season, it would be a fun way to kick off; I can't wait. Cara and Dan made a great review on National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. I didn't watch the movie, but their attention to detail and the summary of it makes it look like I watched the 90 minutes boring movie. I highly recommend this podcast.

  • Best seasonally-relevant podcast around!

    Dan and Cara are just the best. I laugh, constantly, and identify so much with many of the notes! This has introduced me to movies that I’ve never seen, and inspired me to check them out. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

  • Better Than a Certain White Bro’s Podcast

    This podcast is DELIGHTFUL and wonderful and full of good cheer. Cara and Dan cover some Christmas classics and hidden gems. It’s a feel-good, heartwarming podcast that’s like that Campbell’s soup commercial from the 90’s where the snowman melted into that little kid, because soup - and 12 Days Pod - warms the soul.

  • Enjoyable and enlightening

    Hi all,

    Let me begin by saying I am among those who do not personally know Cara or Dan in any capacity. I’ve been following Cara on tumblr — how I discovered the pod — for something like three years, occasionally seeing a peek into her personal life when she wasn’t spreading the Bern. But in my listening of this podcast, I’ve come to have my Christmas spirited reignited in a time when it has felt dimmest of all. I frequently rant to others about how wholesome the whole thing is while acknowled... more

  • Such a needed diversion!

    Cara and Dan do such a beautiful job as the titular 12 Days. Really, though, Christmas is such a beautiful time of year for me and listening to this podcast has been such a welcome diversion from the grind that is 2020. If you love Christmas and Christmas movies and listening to someone trying to describe a movie they’ve never seen to hilarious effect, then please listen to this!

  • Delightfully Light and Silly

    I’m really enjoying this podcast this year! The hosts are a treat and sound like my friends and I chatting about our favorite movies. I LOVE Christmas and feel very strongly about my favorite movies for the season and find myself talking back to the pod when I agree or disagree. This year, I’ve needed company and fluffiness to take a break from the darkness of the world and this is the perfect thing to turn on while doing a few household chores and get away from it all. Can’t wait for more! <3
