  • 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.

  • I really want to like this podcast

    I love Christmas music. Listen to it year round. When I heard the conceit of the podcast I was hooked. I saw the list as it currently stands, realized that shared taste was enough that I wouldn’t be constantly annoyed by where they place my favorite songs, and dived in.

    I just finished episode 30. Rather, I should say, I skipped the seconded half of the excessively long episode 30.

    Love this PODCAST!

    The hosts are a couple whose goal is to listen to, review, and rank EVERY holiday-themed song ever recorded. That is a nearly impossible task; however, they have completed nearly 250 episodes and ranked nearly 500 songs. While I do not always agree with the rankings, I always enjoy the discussion of the songs and the interplay between the hosts, RJ and Ian.

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

  • Very good podcast

    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.
