Great Scrooge podcast

Oh my gosh this is one of those podcasts that you discover and it makes you really think about what the hosts are saying. I love how the hosts Jimmy & John do different Christmas carol movies relating to the Christmas carol. This is a great Tv & Film Commentary podcast! Highly recommended this podcast!

Pleasantly Surprised

The premise of this show is so random and specific, I thought it would be weird but this is an example of a weird concept done really well. These guys are funny and entertaining and do a good job bringing it to life. I’m holding out for Scrooged and Muppet Christmas Carol.

Jacob is dead but the pod is alive!

This premise sounds silly but it’s executed so well!! John and James provide good historical context to Dickens and the original text while also providing entertaining banter/jokes!

I’m not even a huge A Christmas Carol fan but this pod is so educational and entertaining, I’m starting to become a fan! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
