Episode 102 - A New York Christmas To Remember

I'm here, you're here, let's get started...We begin with the joke, which is a first, usually it's in the middle of the show, so don't let it disorientate you, and we follow it up with The Quiz.Then Bob is here with Do You Hear What I Hear and he's looking at why us Brits say Lift instead of Elevator (aside from the fact it saves us 3 syllables).Next up is the return of What The Dickens, and I talk about why Scrooge is called Scrooge and Marley is called Marley, and also is it possible for the streets of London to be both frosty and foggy.Then it's a look at A New York Christmas to Remember.  This was a televised Christmas carol church service in which Regis Philbin read out the nativity story accompanied by a load of puppets created by Jim Henson's workshop.  They're not muppets, but it's quite spellbinding.You can watch it here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRymdxIAWKg&t=2987sAfter that, Bob is back with Spread A Smile of Joy, and this time he's recommending you have a listen to The Story Corps Podcast season 8 which shares a load of stories about people doing nice deeds.Here's a link:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-the-comments/id250500859?i=1000559427740Also check out Bob's podcast, Festive Foreign Film Fans:https://4fpodcast.buzzsprout.com/Then it's Christmas All Over The World and we look at the why it's a tradition to take a walk among the tombstones on Christmas Eve in Finland.This episode's recommendation is Petty Crimes podcast, and it's lots of fun.Why not have a listen:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/petty-crimes/id1612693094If you want to get in touch I'd love to hear from you.Email: [email protected]: totalchristmaspodcast.comMerry Christmas!
