- Great choices and great hosts
These folks have found some great new songs, and their knowledge of so much of the genre is just wonderful. I'm so glad they do it all year round.

The commentary is humorous, loving, intellectual, liberal, leftist, class conscious, socially responsible, etc Li... more

If you want to listen to two people who don’t know a lot about music, but do know an awful lot about Christmas, Rhode Island, or pop culture from like 2006, talk about Christmas music, this is the podcast for you.
