I could listen to Kev and Anne talk holidays and Hollywood all day long. Such a great team with terrific chemistry! (I’m a little ashamed to admit how excited I get when I see a new episode pop into my podcast feed.)
And while I love the analysis on each and every holiday special— both celebrated and lesser known— I equally enjoy the banter between these two and the life updates. More “Kev on the Scene” please! 😄
Just a little “thank you” for a surprise love and light
Love you guys!
Tawk shawtly! Xx
I want to thank Kevin and Anne and gang for bringing these wonderful shows we grew up with back to life. I was born in 65. The show reminds me of how lucky I was growing up in such a wonderful time. Thank you all for what you do and keep up the great work.
I love spending time listening to Kev and Anne talk about holiday episodes and topics! It has really brought me peace in the crazy pre-holiday rush in the past two years. Something fun to listen to when baking and wrapping and other holiday mom duties! I love that I feel like part of a cool Gen X club, reliving Rankin Bass holiday specials and other long forgotten memories. Kev and Anne definitely bring the laughs along with the nostalgia ❤️
First, let me say a big thank you to Kevin and Anne. Thank you for putting together this podcast for people like me! I am a very nostalgic person, especially at Christmas time and holidays. So when I found this podcast, especially covering Rankin and Bass, I was in Holiday heaven! Rankin and Bass were such a huge part of my childhood and have now become a huge part of my son‘s childhood. Listening to these old specials, being broken down and analyzed and put out there for new generations to pick... more
