Billy's Santa Claus Experience (and Other Things that Go Wrong)

A Cozy Christmas Podcast

5.0

Sometimes our best intentions go awry... but at least we're making memories!

There's an unwritten rule of podcasting that if your new podcast can make it past the 7th episode, then you're more likely to keep it going for the long haul. Well this is the 7th episode, and the Technical Dragons were running amuck. Fear not! I have defeated them, and I will be back for episode 8. But at least it fits in with the theme of today's podcast: Christmases that don't go exactly as planned...

Santa is Stuck in a Snowglobe!

A Cozy Christmas Podcast

10/26/20 • 39 min

5.0

Welcome to another episode! Today I share a memory from the winner of the Scrooge Ornament, then I have an Interview with children's author Kathryn Burgess. She has a great new story to help kids deal with seeing Santa in a safe way this year. Gracie and I are on the search for more treats and this time we make some cinnamon and sugar chips and talk about Christmas, COVID, and a few laughs. Then I read a Christmas excerpt from Charles Dickens' book, The Pickwick Papers.

If you're subscribed to the podcast, be on the look out this week for 3 Halloween Stories to drop in your podcast feed!

Christmas in Space! with special guest Sam Weller

A Cozy Christmas Podcast

10/20/20 • 61 min

Halloween and Christmas meet together in space!

Today's episode is an interview with author and classic science fiction/fantasy author Ray Bradbury's official biographer, Sam Weller. He has just published a new collection of gothic short stories called Dark Black. It's a book that will get you into the Halloween mood! There's also a new audio drama podcast called The Way We Haunt Now. https://hauntnowpod.com/

In the episode we talk about these two short stories - if you'd like to read them you can find them online. They are pretty short and won't take long to read.

The Gift https://classic.esquire.com/article/1952/12/1/the-gift (the picture that Weller talks about in the interview is also on that page.)

Introducing the Cozy Christmas Podcast!

A Cozy Christmas Podcast

07/14/20 • 17 min

In this first episode, I introduce myself and give you a general idea of what the podcast will be about.

Then my daughter and I answer those Very Important Christmas Questions, like: What’s your favorite Christmas movie? We also have a mild disagreement as to when it’s OK to start listening to Christmas music.

I also talk briefly about my favorite Christmas story, and give some shout outs to several podcasts that helped inspire me to make my own.

Muscatel and Bananas: Christmas in Portugal

A Cozy Christmas Podcast

10/04/21 • 25 min

Happy October everyone! In today's episode I share a listener's memory from a cozy farm in Canada and he tells us about how his town welcomes Christmas. Then I head over to Portugal and share a couple of fun Christmas traditions the town of Braga has on Christmas eve. Finally, I read the essay Old Thoughts for Christmas by Christopher Morley. Published during the Christmas season after the Treaty of Versailles was signed, Morley ponders the gift of peace and the need for kindness after such a horrific world war - and finds that Christmas can bring these things to us.

And be sure to keep an eye out on the youtube channel this week as I'll be posting a video review of the book Mrs. Claus and the Santaland Slayings by Liz Ireland.

The Christmas Hirelings, Part 3, ch. 5-6, by Mary Elizabeth Braddon

A Cozy Christmas Podcast

07/23/21 • 49 min

This is part three of The Christmas Hirelings by Mary Elizabeth Braddon.

It's the Christmas holidays at Penlyon Place! In part three of the story, there are several Christmas meals and celebrations that Sir John, Danby, Miss Hawberk and the three children attend. Sir John and the youngest child Moppet continue to form a loving bond. These chapters overflow with Christmas cheer and is definitely worth making some hot chocolate while you listen.
