About this episode
🎄 After spending 3 months locked in a water tower, the Advent Calendar House has escaped in time for Christmas Podcast Day, a fake holiday originally made up for a hashtag back when social media was slightly less stupid. It’s not Scrooge Sunday, but the theme for this year’s Christmas Podcast Day is “A Christmas Carol,” so I’m playing a long, but also cheating a little by covering both segments of a 1993 Christmas episode of “Animaniacs.” You can follow #ChristmasPodcastDay on Facebook , Instagram , and that other one . And probably TikTok , but I’m not on that. **** 🎙 Guests: Erin Evans ( @mserinevans ). Joey O. ( Y-Not Radio , Words With Nerds , @imgonnadj24 ). **** 💬 Topics & Tangents: 1. The Animanicast . 2.
