    Merry Christmas! On this episode, we talk to a man who not only is a great presenter but an amazing impressionist in Chris Marsden about how he got into radio (with our longest answer to a question ever!), his YouTube Channel and his impressions of Disney XD characters and Pedro Pascal. This does contain strong language, and we apologise that the audio quality isn't up to the usual standard; it seems like Santa's elves got into our audio interfaces!
