The Christmas Special

The 2013 SAMG Christmas Special

 

It should be noted upfront that this podcast is a lo-res facsimile of itself as we recorded the whole thing a day previously but then found that Mr Geek hadn't recorded the Springs side of the conversation.  He shall be flogged!

Mr. Geek is pro-Christmas and Springs is kinda anti-Christmas so we try and find a festive middle ground and bring you this Christmas Special :P

This is not a standard show.  We do not introduce you to new podcasts and there are (mostly) non of the usual slots.  We just spend our time chatting about our versions of Christmas and other miscellaneous stuff.

I mention how having wireless at Disney World affected the way I dealt with my photos and we compare Thanksgivings in US & Canada (and Harvest Festival in the UK). After that we get onto the well known Christmas charity singles:  Do they know its Christmas - Band Aid, We Are The World - USA For Africa and The Canadian One.

Springs is EXCITED!!  Community is coming back!!!
Springs is also excited about Big Graph paper

Springs is looking forward to receiving her Kickstarter solar heater

Springs chooses the World of Music (in post) 
Springs wonders if "Baby it's cold outside" is ‘rapey’?

Springs shares this years 'punch it in the face' xmas tune: Waitresses (Christmas Wrapping)

Imaginary Family Tree:

Noel Fielding

Leads to discussion about Never Mind The Buzzcocks and guests walking off...I mistakenly think its Huey from the Fun Loving Criminals, who famously smashed a mug on the show.

World Of Music:  Japan (again)
This is what happens when Mr Geek leaves Springs to pick a foreign Christmas song.

Of course, If you have any suggestions, please email us let us know.

Of course, We'd love to get your questions so you can either email them to  snugradio@yahoo.co.uk or find us on Facebook
