Merry Christmas you beautiful people.

It's a brand new episode and wouldn't you know it, I've had some emails, Hooray!

We start the show with Smile of Joy and Bob Baker gives us another idea for how we can spread a little happiness.

Then we have the Christmas Quiz. I scored a massive 7 points, see if you can do any better.

Next up Bob is back with Do You Hear What I Hear? and he's looking at what it means to use the word 'banger'.

After the Christmas Joke we have What The Dickens? and I take a look at that most beloved of all characters Tiny Tim.

Then it's the second part of my interview with Adam Parker from the Merry Britsmas podcast. We're continuing our discussion about Christmas in the UK and this episode we talk about Christmas TV and films.

This episode's recommendation is the audiobook of the late Norm MacDonald's autobiography. It's called Based on a True Story and is mainly untrue, but very funny.

Merry Christmas!

Hello you beautiful people!

It's a packed show and to begin our resident barman Bob Baker combined St Patrick's Day and Christmas to discuss the British word 'bloke' in Do You Hear What I Hear.

Then it's The Quiz, I do pretty well this time, so see if you can beat me.

After the joke I discuss the version of A Christmas Carol that I saw at the theatre this year. It was a youth production and they'd added a modern twist.

The it's Spread A Smile Of Joy and Bob Baker talks about how you can make doing good deeds a family event.

This episode's recommendation is of course Merry Britsmas.

Merry Christmas!

Welcome to the episode.
First up our podcast barman Bob Baker looks at the dichotomy of how is Brits use the word 'chuffed' in Do You Hear What I Hear.

This episode we look at the Ducktales episode Last Christmas from season 2 of the reboot in 2018. It's not really a version of a Christmas Carol but it does feature the 3 ghosts and let me tell you in no uncertain terms it is crap.

Then it's the quiz. I scored 8, let me know how you got on.

Then Bob returns with Spread A Smile Of Joy and this one was suggested to us from our Scandinavian American correspondent Benji Pearson. It's a good one.

After that it's Christmas All Over The World and did you know that Saint Nicholas isn't the only saint who goes around giving gifts at Christmas. In Greece they have Saint Basil. He's no Santa, but it he gets the job done.

This episode's recommendation was suggested last week by Bob Baker and I had a listen and really enjoyed it. It's from Story Corps and they have lots of people sharing uplifting stories of when strangers have done nice things.
