Episode 44 - Ebanana Scrooge

Welcome to The Total Christmas Podcast, it's December and it
really is Christmas and it's another packed show.

First up Ed Daley reads another part from his book.  This
time he explains how a clerical error led to It's A Wonderful
Life becoming one of the most popular Christmas films of all
time.
If you want to read more, check out his book:

Next up we have the story of the worst Christmas present that
Kevin Church ever received, turns out, if he'd received it a year
earlier it may have been one of the best.

Then we chat to Aurelio O'Brien author of Family Trees. 
It's a great book that I thoroughly enjoyed.  If you'd like
to pick up a copy, here's a link:

Then it's the 2nd part of our chat with Scott & Jay from the
Jingle Jank Podcast.  We listen to 3 more songs, if you want
a listen, here's some links:

One More Sleep by Leona Lewis

Then the girls are back again for Robin Sings and they have
another stab at Last Christmas.

It's been a few episodes but once again we look at another
version of A Christmas Carol.  This one is the fantastic new
Aldi Christmas advert.  It's only 1 minute 20 seconds but
they pack a lot in.

Then we have a new segment, each week we'll be playing a song
from Adam Kennedy and his Creative Commonaires,  Their songs
are very funny and the album is called Literally Shrunk Down and
Living in my Christmas Village.  Have a listen to the whole
album here:

Our Top Ten Christmas Movie Lists come from Ed Daley and Adam
Parker from the Merry Britsmas Podcast.  Where will they
feature on our leader board?

Then we have another Yule Log.  Why not spend an hour
watching Joe Pesci get his scalp burned off with a flamethrower
while crackling sounds and Christmas music play in the
background.

This episode's recommendation is for you to share the
podcast.  It's actually Christmas now, so you won't seem
like a weirdo when you tell your friends to listen to the show
and it would mean a lot to me and the team (there is no
team).

See, I told you it was a packed show.

Merry Christmas
