Choose Your Own Advent (2019)

DOWNLOAD

This year, you’re in charge of Kitschmas! Choose from four sweet suites:

  1. Lounge
    You enter the Tinsel Tavern at the I70/465 Howard Johnson, 1964. You order an eggnog and slide into a red leather banquette.
  2. Dreck
    You stop by the Double R Diner for some coffee and pie. The stoplight outside swings back and forth, and an owl stares at you from a fir tree across the street. Things are definitely getting weird.
  3. Disco
    You slip past the bouncer at Studio 25, New York’s hottest dance club of 1979. The trumpet-flare pants shall sound, and a mirror ball bathes the club in twinkly snowfall. You put on your sunglasses.
  4. Pops
    An adoring matinee audience is full of excitement as you open your viola case and begin to tune. The curtain rises, as does the orchestra pit, and you play your one millionth flat seven chord of the season. Away we go!

Each week during Advent, a new playlist will appear down the podcast chimney like candles in a wreath.
