As I’ve mentioned before, I’m an avid podcast listener. Walking to the post office, working on a new painting, snuggling under the covers – a podcast is often my background sound of choice. This American Life has been one of my all time favorites, despite being Canadian, so I thought a holiday round-up of festive episodes may be in order. Most episodes stream beautifully for free right on your computer or you can download them for 99 cents. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of nog & have a listen:
- episode 422: Comedians of Christmas Comedy Special
- episode 371: Scenes From a Mall
- episode 305: Holiday Spectacular
- episode 255: TAL’s Holiday Gift-Giving Guide
- episode 202: Faith (not a Christmas episode, but interesting)
- episode 148: The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Suit
- episode 87: A Very Special Sedaris Christmas
- episode 47: Christmas and Commerce (***If you only listen to one, the David Sedaris tale of working as an elf at Macy’s is a very good bet.)
- episode 6: Christmas
