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.

After 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.

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
