About Merry & Bright

Welcome to Merry and Bright - your jolly yuletide podcast! In season 1, we created this exclusive podcast for our close family and friends. Now in our third season, we are unleashed and publishing to the world! This is our opportunity to share some Christmas cheer and to develop our podcasting skills and techniques. We would love to receive your feedback and voice notes to potentially include in future episodes. Creating and submitting your recording couldn't be easier, just follow this link https://www.speakpipe.com/Merry_and_Bright To help, here are some specific areas we'd love for you to get involved with: What's the best or worst secret santa you've received? Does Christmas inspire charity in you? If so, which causes do you support and how? What’s your unique or weird Christmas tradition? Specifically for our Christmas day special, what's been your favourite moment of Merry and Bright? or, do you have a Christmas message for us? Helpful pointers: Your recording will be limited to 90seconds, so consider what you'd like to say. Each question is for a different episode so please only answer one in each recording. You're welcome to submit more than one recording. Please record in a quiet space so we can hear you clearly. Enjoy!
