Now that was a fun Festive Fifty! I listened to the 3 installments very slowly to draw it out.

It was really great to hear everyone’s voices again and to learn of some music I missed out on in 2012.

Thank you Tim, as always, for your hard work.

And James, you are a star! We all appreciate how much energy you put into getting this trio of podcasts ready to go. I think my favorite moment of the FF was when you interrupted the Skyfall intro to correct the standing from 10 to 7. Hilarious.

Kev, I also got a kick out of the way you pronounced Gotye. Very clever and Bella was as funny as ever.

Thanks Tricia! It was fun, as always, to help out with the FF!

I’ve been listening to Festive fifty since 2007. I love them. Thanks for putting them together once again.

I’m thinking of porting the playlist onto the Spotify as well
