Jamie’s CHRISTMAS CRACKER

on itunes, Acast and

Spotify Released in 2021, but still relevant a year later, Jamie’s Christmas Cracker podcast aims to take the stress out of Christmas by sharing everything you need to make the big day a success.

The TV chef (right) answers foodie questions and gives the inside track on what he and his family will be eating. He is also joined by his old friend and mentor Gennaro Contaldo as they swap tips, tricks and hacks to make Christmas a time of pure joy.

CHRISTMAS PAST

on itunes, Acast and Spotify Behind every Christmas tradition is a story, often a forgotten one. Every year as we put up a tree and pour the eggnog, we’re continuing generation­sold narratives, while being mostly unaware of their starting chapters.

Join Brian Earl to explore the fascinatin­g stories behind the most wonderful time of the year. It’s equal parts nerdy deep dive and warmhearte­d celebratio­n.

TOTALLY RAD CHRISTMAS

It’s a show about the raddest time of year in the baddest decade ever!

In this super fun podcast, the hosts talk all things Christmas in the ‘80s to the max! Toys, movies, specials, music, books, games, comics, food, fashion, and fads

— if it was gnarly during Christmas in the ‘80s, we got it covered!.

CHRISTMAST­OWN

on itunes, Acast and Spotify Journalist­s Jeb Lund and David J. Roth (inset) step away from real world anxieties and step into the gentle, cornball, consequenc­e-free world of the Hallmark Channel.

Each time, we discuss a different Hallmark original movie—from Christmas cheer, to wedding jitters, to junk-store detectives—and break it down into recognisab­le components of angels, mums, moppets, sugary foods and themed sweaters, and try to make sense of when the stories veer away from comfort films and land in the uncanny valley.

Welcome to a sweet, stilted vision of the world, a relaxing trip to an alternate universe where everyone is silly, chaste, nice, and mostly doing fine.

CHRISTMAS PODDING

on Acast and Spotify

This Podcast is hosted by radio presenters Liam Renton and Vanessa Gibson who’ve been friends for over a decade after bonding one day at work when they both realised they were obsessed with the movie Love Actually... and they’ve been talking about Christmas non-stop ever since.

They felt it was high time someone did a podcast dedicated to this time of year so Christmas Podding is devoted to all things fun and festive.

Covering food, movies, music, events, lights, traditions, books and decoration­s — Christmas lives here!
