  • Promising concept, pretentious execution

    I should have been tipped off when the first episode had the marble-mouthed Justin McElroy as a guest. I’m interested in hearing new and different Christmas songs, but this podcast is more about hipsters blathering than about music.

    This is so delightful and a wonderful way to experience not only new holiday songs and vibes but get your holiday cheer in a parasocial relationship fix kind of way. It’s 2025. (Arnie’s mom donating made me cry).
