Merry Christmas!

Be sure to get this week's podcast here

It's Christmas - a season for looking back, and emptying your wallets, all in the name of joy, giving, and selfishness. Or, if you prefer, crass commercialism. Myself, I enjoy this time of year - being with friends and family, and just the joyous feeling you get with the new fallen snow, and the happiness in kids' faces when they see the jolly fat man in the red suit. And, it's in that spirit I present to you this years Christmas podcast! While I try to stick to Alternative 80's music, I do tend to stretch that boundary a bit for the Christmas podcast - but not too much.

So, without further ado - Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!
