About A Podcast For Christmas
Snuggle up by our virtual fireplace as host Katie attempts to take her friends from skeptics to sentimentals in A Podcast For Christmas. Deep dive into the festive fluff and venture into the realm of dichotomies debating cynicism vs escapism, Christmas spirit vs capitalism and romance vs realism all through the lens of Hallmark-esque Christmas movies. We’ll ask- and keep asking- despite lack of on screen representation are these camp classics? Are they making the yuletide gay enough? Are these movies, in fact, a sleigh?
