Customer Reviews
Can You Think Of A Better Crew?
I love the dynamic of the three hosts and am amazed at how well they interact, even after 5 years. Their dialogue, their personalities, and their different viewpoints make the shows so entertaining. I mean Julia is sitll the best elf, but Thom and Anthony have their moments. Also, looking forward to Anthony's next book, so they can have another chapter read each episode. Keep up the good work and know that you are spreading Christmas cheer throughout the whole year.
One of the best!
If you want some nice deep dives, and conversation about the best in holiday entertainment, then this is the podcast for you. Great banter between the hosts, and always a good time!
