    Episode 160 - US Christmas Classic Songs

    Hello you beautiful people! We've tried this before and we're doing it again. Listener Jason Matuziak has sent me a bunch of songs that he tells me are classic songs at Christmas in the US.  I'll let you know if I've heard any of them. Then Bob Baker is here with Where Are You Christmas? and this time he's found it in Levenworth, Washington in the US thanks to listener Nettie Tebeau. Then it's The Christmas Quiz. I managed 8, although in the episode I claim it was 9 (mistakes were made). Make sure to email in your score. Then Bob returns and it's a bit of a milestone because Bob has recorded 100 segments of Do You Hear What I Hear? This one is extra special and he mashes all 100 hundred together in a lovely little rhyme.  Check out Bob's podcast here:  https://4fpodcast.buzzsprout.com Then it's this episodes version of A Christmas Carol and it's a very loose version indeed. It's a special stage episode of The Honeymooners from 1977. I watched it on Amazon Prime, but here's some more info: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0445437/ This episode's recommendation is the board game Telestrations. It was recommmended to us by Shelli Arnold and it's tons of fun, plue you don't have to pay to see who wins, you can just play it for laughs, so the kids don't get in a strop.

    Episode 157 - Midwinter's Day

    Merry Christmas you beautiful people! We start the show by looking at the Winter solstice in the Southern hemisphere. Is there an equivalent of Christmas in June when the South of the globe has its shortest day? Then Bob Baker our resident barman looks at Wellington boots in Do You Hear What I Hear? There's no Christmas Quiz this episode, instead we have the triumphant return of Santa Banter, don't worry it's only for this episode. Then Bob is back with Where Are You Christmas? and he's looking at Bethelehem, but not the one you're thinking of. Check out Bob's podcast here:  https://4fpodcast.buzzsprout.com A couple of episodes ago I looked at the Alistair Simm version of A Christmas Carol, I talked about George Cole the actor who played the young Scrooge. He went on to have a great career and he even released a Christmas song with his Minder co-star Dennis Waterman. It's called What Are We Gonna Get 'Er Indoors? and it's not great, but you can have a listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP8bqOcj9H8 This episodes recommendation is the autobiography of the actor Brian Blessed. It's called Absolute Pandemonium and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Get in touch: Email: totalchristmas@gmail.com Merry Christmas!

Then I talk about a Christmas Not So Classic, it's from the very rude British comedian Roy Chubby Brown, it's called Rockin' Good Christmas and it's naff.

    Episode 154 - A Christmas Jumper of Shame

    Merry Christmas you beautiful people! Do you think the Alistair Sim version of A Christmas Carol is the best? Well think again, because in this episode I explain why it's rubbish. This episodes Do You Hear What I Hear? is an interesting one, and Bob Baker looks at the term to 'read' as in to study.  Then it's The Christmas Quiz and after my pitiful performance last week when I scored a paltry 4, this week I've scored a paltry 4. Next up Bob Baker takes us to Austria with Where Are You Christmas? Check out Bob's podcast here:  https://4fpodcast.buzzsprout.com Then we have a story of shame, but it doesn't have to have a sad ending, you can change the scripy, all you have to do is tell me the name of my pet mouse. If you haven't got a clue have a listen to the latest episodes of my daughters' podcast, I'm Not Complaining and you'll find out.  Here's a link: anchor.fm/notcomplaining This episodes recommendation is the game show Taskmaster. It's really fun to watch, but it's even more fun to play. If you've never seen it, have a look for it, it's great.
