Episode 413: Christmas in Ju(ne)(ly)
<p>Since we'll be away from the podcast until July 22, we've got some songs specifically to hold you over until then! For the rest of the month, we hope that "Christmas in June" by AJR will satisfy your holiday music appetite - hopefully more than its protagonist satisfied his partner, hey-oh!! And then to help you get through next month, we get more heartfelt (and also gay) (and also Grinch) with "Christmas in July" by Alex the Astronaut.</p> <p>The ranking music in this episode is "Little Talks" by Of Monsters and Men, I guess!!</p>

Episode 412: Three Lions and Plesiosaur
<p>Despite our best efforts, the World Cup is happening again, and it's happening here. Though we were able to put it off for 400+ episodes, it's finally time for us to do some winter holiday songs about the so-called beautiful game. Ian, in particular, has a lot of say. First up, we hear "Three Lions (It's Coming Home for Christmas)" by Baddiel, Skinner and the Lightning Seeds, a 2022 holiday version of their 1996 hit. Then it's "Star of Lisbon" by Celtic FC (I guess), a holiday song that is, in a rare event on our show, not really about the holidays and ALSO just barely a song.</p> <p>The ranking music in this episode is the theme to "Taskmaster" as performed by David Baddiel.</p>
May 27, 2026
Episode 411: Pride Intensifies
<p>It's almost Pride Month and we're getting ready with some queer (or at least queer-adjacent) holiday songs! By request, we're listening to Girl in Red's "Two Queens in a King Sized Bed", a Christmas song featuring sapphic love and potential body horror, followed by "Happy Hanukkah (Will We Still Be Friends)" by Philip Labes, a Hanukkah song featuring theatre kids and a brief digression into Clinton-era political policy.</p> <p>The ranking music in this episode is "Cool for the Summer" by Demi Lovato.</p> <p>Thank you to Jolene for these requests!</p>
