This year’s Christmas podcast is here, once again! Shining a light on some of the best seasonal and festive music you may have missed. There are some great cover versions, lots of original music from 2022 and a number of seasonal offerings we may have missed over the years !
This is our 12th annual podcast and for more information on why on earth we do it , well you can read our recent “In Defence Of Christmas Music” post HERE
This year we’ve got the upbeat, the bittersweet, the tragic and the magic as Andy Von Pip unearths some more seasonal gems as well as providing some fun festive facts. For example do you know what Liverpool’s link to Santa is ? Where did Turkeys originally come from? He also examines Santa’s political past and some of the more unhinged Christmas traditions around the world.
