Did you know that Christmas Podding, the podcast hosted by Brisbane festive besties Vanessa ‘Ness’ Gibson and Liam Renton releases episodes all year around? Started in 2018, not only has it been awarded the mantle of Second-Best Christmas podcast on the planet but this month (appropriately) they will release episode number 200.
Ness said:
“We can’t quite believe we’ve recorded over a hundred hours of content just about Christmas.”
Liam added:
“We love talking about Christmas, and both coming from radio means we’re always thinking of ways to spin a topic, sensationalise a segment and look for ways to story arc a good idea.”
They now have a worldwide audience with some of the highlights from the last seven years including:
- 47 recipes on how to best use leftover Turkey
- 23 chats about what families really fight over each Christmas
- 12 deep dives on Mariah Carey’s bizarre behaviour each Christmas
- 6 attempts to get any cast member from Love Actually to return their calls and come on the show
- 3 promotional photoshoots complete with an iconic Mrs Claus dress and fake snow
- 1 worldwide charity Christmas song release
Christmas Podding is doing daily episodes throughout December with the current debate about what is the Greatest Christmas Song of all time. It’s available wherever you get your podcasts and via ARN iHeart’s Elf Radio. Listen at your own peril if you’re still alive during #Whamageddon (as I am!). Sadly I got Mariah-ed on the weekend.
