Sean just couldn’t let Christmas go by without one more episode to round out the year! In this Christmas-themed My Weird Record Collection, Sean takes a dive into records he had as a child, courtesy of Mr. Pickwick. You wouldn’t think children’s records would be considered weird. Again, you wouldn’t THINK that children’s records would be considered weird, but here we are. Just listen and find out what we mean.
