PARENTAL WARNING: DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE WITH CHILDREN PRESENT!What's up, dudes? It's July, and it's ridiculously hot, so we're gonna have a watch-along party for the Rankin Bass classic “Santa Claus is Comin' to Town”. I've got CJ Bélanger from Rose Suchak Ladder, Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas podcast, and Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa with me to provide commentary and enjoy the ride!The story chronicles the rise of Kris Kringle, an abandoned ginger baby who grows up with a family of toy-making elves and eventually decides to deliver their wares to the miserable children of Sombertown. Unfortunately, the town is ruled by Burgermeister Meisterburger, a goose-stepping fun-hater who declares toys illegal after suffering a workplace-related yo-yo injury. Along the way, Kris befriends future Mrs. Claus Jessica, teaches the icy Winter Warlock the restorative power of choo-choos, and recruits a small army of flying reindeer for his increasingly elaborate toy-smuggling operation. After being jailed for spreading unauthorized merriment, Kris escapes, grows a beard, changes his name to Santa Claus, and relocates his entire operation to the North Pole like some sort of Yuletide witness-protection program. Eventually, the Burgermeister dynasty dies out, everyone realizes banning toys was incredibly stupid, and Santa becomes an immortal international trespasser celebrated for breaking into millions of homes every December.Icy Sauron? Check. Megalomaniacal tyrant? Yep. Late ‘60s acid trip hippie song? Only with psychedelic background effects! So grab your magic feed corn, hop on your flying reindeer, and climb down the chimney to this episode on "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town!"Rose Suchak LadderIG: @rosesuchakladderpodLost Christmas PodcastFB: @LostChristmasPodcastTwitter: @LostChristmasP1IG: @lostchristmaspodcastIG: @alamocitysanta Etsy: North Pole General Store FB: @northpolegeneralstore                             IG: @northpole_generalstore Give us a buzz!

The Q&A returns for August with a variety of topics including pet-related tech mishaps, the contentious multimeter pronunciation debate, arcade boards and Super NES expansion chips, the return of physical keyboard phones, and an accidental grip of AI-related questions about web-scraping statistics, podcasters putting on new vocal identities, cyberattacks on infrastructure, and the growing societal backlash that might (maybe) blunt all this at some point.

What's up, dudes? It's been a beast of a week. We lost two legends of their respective industries. Dolly Parton was one of the greatest people of our time. She was a musician, actress, and humanitarian. Her Christmas albums, all of which were accompanied by a tv special, have been staples of many a family's Christmas season. We've even covered some of her '80s Christmas endeavors on this show previously. Tim Curry was a genius in his own right. Had he not made it as an actor, he could've been a prolific musician as well. His role as Wadsworth has so much energy and wit! From Pennywise to Rooster to Darkness to the Concierge, he proved that the term "character actor" is not a bad thing.Requiescat in pace.

What's up, dudes? Remember standing in line for hours to get that one toy? Your parents probably did, especially after you sat down and circled all the toys you wanted in the Wishbook? Vinnie Brezinsky from Huey and Bax joins me to talk holiday shopping and wishbooks! Malls and shopping and commercials! Oh my! From Toys 'R' Us to Sears, from JC Penney to Kmart, we talk all about shopping and wishbooks. The Sears Wish Book began in 1933 as a special Christmas edition of the Sears, Roebuck and Co. catalog, packed with toys, games, dolls, bicycles, clothing, and other gifts that quickly made it a beloved holiday tradition for American families. Over the decades, the catalog grew into a massive annual showcase—often hundreds of pages long—where generations of children eagerly circled, dog-eared, and dreamed about the presents they hoped Santa might bring. As department-store catalogs declined and shopping shifted online, Sears discontinued the traditional Wish Book in the 1990s, briefly revived it in print and digital forms in later years, and left behind an enduring piece of Christmas nostalgia.Toys? Check. Clothes? Yeah, they're in there too. Christmas decorations? Of course! So grab your red marker and circle all the things you want in this episode on 1980s holiday shopping and wishbooks!  Give us a buzz!

I've got Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas and Alamo City Santa Jeremy Phelps with me to talk all about it!Pinky, Panky, and the Rainbow Panthers are having a slumber party when a mysterious stranger comes down the chimney. It's Santa Claus! There's just one little problem: it's July! Santa claims he's getting an early start on Christmas, but the Panthers aren't buying it. Everyone assumes the jolly old elf is actually a burglar in disguise—everyone, that is, except Panky!Determined to protect Santa, Panky tries to hide him from his suspicious friends. Unfortunately, the would-be Kris Kringle is eventually discovered and hauled off to jail! Panky insists they've arrested the real Santa Claus, and despite everyone thinking he's been duped, the little panther refuses to give up. Sure enough, the gang eventually discovers that Panky was right all along. Santa really was getting a jump on Christmas!Christmas in July? Check. Santa breaking and entering? Got it. Kris Kringle in the clink? Only until Panky proves that sometimes you've just gotta believe!

What's up, dudes? What are you people? On dope?! I've got Michael May from After Lunch, Crestwood House, and Hellbent for Letterbox, Scott Leopold from Holly Jolly X'masu, and Tim Williams from 80's Flick Flashback are with me to talk the Christmas-adjacent movie “Fast Times at Ridgemont High!”Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) follows a group of Southern California teenagers as they stumble through a school year filled with first jobs, romance, sex, friendship, and the everyday humiliations of being young. At the center is Stacy Hamilton, a shy sophomore who begins exploring dating and relationships with encouragement from her more experienced friend Linda Barrett. Meanwhile, Stacy's older brother Brad watches his seemingly perfect life unravel after losing his job and his girlfriend, while Stacy's awkward friend Mark “Rat” Ratner tries to work up the nerve to pursue her. Their stories unfold against the backdrop of Ridgemont High and the local mall, capturing teenage life with a mix of raunchy comedy and surprising sincerity.The film's most memorable character, however, is perpetually stoned surfer Jeff Spicoli, whose laid-back attitude puts him in constant conflict with stern history teacher Mr. Hand. While Spicoli dreams of surfing and Van Halen, the other students gradually discover that adulthood is arriving faster than they expected—and it comes with consequences. By the end, relationships have shifted, friendships have been tested, and several characters have grown up at least a little. Directed by Amy Heckerling and written by Cameron Crowe, “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” became a defining teen comedy of the 1980s, balancing outrageous moments and endlessly quotable humor with a remarkably grounded look at the uncertainty, mistakes, and small victories of adolescence.Forgotten wallet? Check. Santa who got peed on? Poor kid. Most paused movie scene ever? You know you did! So grab your surfboard, put on your pirate costume, and scalp some tickets to this episode!80's Flick FlashbackFB: @80's Flick Flashback podcastTwitter: @80_podcastIG: @80sflickflashbackHolly Jolly X'masuFB: @HollyJollyXmasuTwitter: @HollyJollyXmasuIG: @hollyjollyxmasuAfter LunchGive us a buzz!

Replay de l'été : Cinq ans et demi de pratique du trail seulement et déjà un palmarès qui fait tourner les têtes avec des performances de haut vol : Swiss Peak 360, Tor des Géants, et désormais une victoire sur les 224 kilomètres de l'Ultra Terreste, un ultra-trail XXL qui traverse l'île de La Réunion de bout en bout, de Basse-Vallée jusqu'au stade de la Redoute, en passant par le volcan, le Piton des Neiges, Cilaos et Mafate.J'avais reçu Louis une première fois pour raconter son Tor des Géants 2024 — une course interrompue par une intoxication alimentaire à 60 bornes de l'arrivée, alors qu'il était en route vers le record de la course. Ce trauma-là, il ne l'a pas oublié. Et il s'en est servi.L'épisode débute sous de mauvais augures : cœur trop haut, sensations absentes, doutes sur les premiers kilomètres. C'est un jour "sans". Mais Louis choisit tout de même de passer en tête dès le kilomètre 30 : pas par tactique, par instinct de joueur. Ce choix va lancer une course folle entre lui, Jonathan Schindler et François D'Haene. Au kilomètre 100, une chute violente dans le sentier Kerveguen. Arcade ouverte, genou fracassé, et plus de 120 kilomètres encore à couvrir. Louis traverse Mafate en boitant, compense, dégrade. Le mollet droit cède. À Sans-Souci, il marche presque. Mais il avance. L'écart tient.On parle aussi de la préparation : les blocs de 250 km en quatre jours, les bains à 41 degrés, six fois par semaine pour s'acclimater à la chaleur humide de l'île — une épreuve en soi, qui l'a mené régulièrement au bord du malaise. Du rôle décisif de l'assistance. Et d'une approche mentale paradoxale : s'entraîner pour gagner, courir pour finir.37 heures 38 minutes plus tard la victoire. Schindler à 1h12, D'Haene à 2h13.Une victoire arrachée dans la douleur et l'humilité.***Course Épique, c'est le podcast running et trail qui vous fait vivre dans chaque épisode une histoire de course à pied hors du commun.Pour ne rien manquer de notre actualité et vivre les coulisses du podcast, suivez-nous sur Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/courseepique.podcast/Retrouvez également Course Epique en vidéo sur YouTube : https://bit.ly/courseepique_youtubeCourse Épique, un podcast imaginé et animé par Guillaume Lalu et produit par Sportcast Studios Hébergé par Acast.

Music has a unique way of bringing people together. A single song can transport us back to a moment in time, spark a conversation, or create a memory that lasts a lifetime. Join Jason Squires as he sits down with composer, producer, and longtime musical director Jim Daneker to explore the power of connection through music.After spending nearly three decades touring with Michael W. Smith, Jim launched Arcade Orchestra, a one-of-a-kind concert experience that reimagines the iconic songs of the '80s with the power of a live orchestra. Together, Jason and Jim talk about honoring the music people love while creating something fresh, why audiences are craving shared experiences more than ever, and how timeless songs have the ability to connect generations. They also dive into the value of building lasting relationships in a creative industry that's often driven by networking, and why genuine connection has been one of the defining themes of Jim's remarkable career. Whether you're a musician, leader, or creative, this conversation will remind you that the most meaningful work isn't just about what you create.

Video-Man is back yet again in "The Education of a Superhero," but he's not the Video-Man we met twice before. That's because this episode was actually a backdoor pilot for a Video-Man TV show in which Video-Man is a superhero who joins the X-Men, who also appear at the end of this episode. That's right, the formerly villainous Video-Man is now a budding superhero, whose civilian identity is the video games-obsessed nerd Francis Byte. His origin story includes a wholly original villain named Gamesman, who is kind of a rip-off of Arcade, but we actually liked this episode anyway. Maybe because it's about video games, and... zombies, kinda?

"Step one, step two, step three" isn't how real learning happens. On this episode of My EdTech Life, Dr. Alfonso Mendoza sits down with Cari Orts, also known as Techie Cari, an educational technology specialist at Marble Falls ISD with over 20 years of experience in education, to discuss maker spaces, project-based learning, and why AI will never replace real teaching.Cari shares why she believes technology should work like a textbook, not the whole classroom. She breaks down her Cardboard Carnival project, a K-5 event that fills an entire school gym with games kids build from scratch, and explains why AI-generated rubrics fail teachers unless they are rewritten to be measurable. This episode is packed with real classroom examples for K-12 teachers, instructional coaches, and district leaders who want practical ways to bring project-based learning back into their classrooms without losing instructional time.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS EPISODEWhat is the problem with 30-minute daily EdTech platform requirements?Many districts require students to use a paid platform for a set amount of time each day to justify the cost. Cari explains why this turns into compliance instead of real learning.Why does Cari Orts say step-by-step instructions hurt critical thinking?Scripted instructions teach students to copy steps rather than understand why something works. Cari explains why giving students an end goal instead of a script leads to deeper learning.How can teachers actually find time for project-based learning?Cari shares her method of bundling 10 to 15 standards into a single project instead of teaching them one at a time, which saves time later in the school year.Why are AI-generated rubrics not accurate for grading?AI can create a rubric quickly, but Cari explains why it is not measurable until a teacher rewrites it with specific, gradable criteria.What is the Cardboard Carnival project?A K-5 maker space project inspired by Caine's Arcade where students build carnival games from cardboard, then host a school-wide family math night to showcase them.How should teachers use AI in the classroom?Cari recommends writing content first, then using AI only to refine it, rather than generating lessons or newsletters from scratch.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro and welcome00:01:00 Meet Cari Orts, also known as Techie Cari00:03:00 The problem with 30-minute daily EdTech compliance00:04:00 How COVID changed hands-on learning in the classroom00:08:00 What other districts and states are seeing right now00:12:00 The shoe building project and low tech, high engagement learning00:15:00 Why step-by-step instructions are not real learning00:19:00 The Cardboard Carnival project explained00:26:00 How to find time for project-based learning00:28:00 Why AI-generated rubrics are not measurable00:34:00 Bringing parents into student learning00:35:00 What teachers get wrong after a conference or PD00:38:00 Designing PD for speedboats, tugboats, and anchors00:43:00 Cari's honest take on AI in education00:46:00 Is AI literacy a realistic goal for teachers?00:51:00 Speed round: edu kryptonite, billboard idea, and trading places with a student00:55:00 Connect with Cari OrtsABOUT THE GUESTCari Orts, known as Techie Cari, has over 20 years of experience in education as a teacher, GT specialist, and maker space lead.

What's up, dudes? Kevin Williams from ‘Tis the Soundtrack joins me to talk about Rainbow “Snowman!” Yes, the former Deep Purple guitarist took Howard Blake's song from the 1982 classic and reworked it as an atmospheric synth and electric guitar anthem!Rainbow was formed in 1975 by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore after he began to tire of Deep Purple and the band's changing musical direction. Deep Purple had already replaced Ian Gillan and Roger Glover with David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes, but Blackmore remained unhappy with where the music was headed. What began as Blackmore recording a single with members of the band Elf ultimately grew into a full album and the creation of Rainbow. The band quickly became known for its larger-than-life live shows, whose centerpiece was a massive computer-controlled rainbow containing some 3,000 lightbulbs and stretching 40 feet across the stage. Rainbow also became notorious for its revolving door of musicians, with original vocalist Ronnie James Dio departing in 1978 over disagreements about the band's increasingly commercial musical direction. After further lineup changes, Joe Lynn Turner eventually took over as lead singer, ushering in Rainbow's more radio-friendly early-'80s era. That lineup would lead to Bent Out of Shape, released September 9, 1983, which featured the song in question as the album's ninth track.Rainbow's instrumental “Snowman,” featured on their 1983 album Bent Out of Shape, is based on “Walking in the Air,” the haunting theme written by composer Howard Blake for the beloved 1982 animated film The Snowman, itself adapted from Raymond Briggs' 1978 children's book. Blake had actually composed the melody around 1970 before later adapting it for the television special, where it became the musical centerpiece of the story. The Snowman—which went on to become a seasonal television favorite in Britain and Finland—follows the fleeting adventure of a young boy and the snowman he brings to life. During their magical flight to the North Pole, “Walking in the Air” accompanies the pair as they soar through the night before attending a gathering of snowmen and meeting Santa Claus and his reindeer. In the original film, the song was performed by St. Paul's Cathedral choirboy Peter Auty, whose recording was later reissued in 1985 and 1987. Ritchie Blackmore was captivated by the composition's haunting, melodic beauty and, having long enjoyed adapting classical and traditional melodies into rock instrumentals, transformed Blake's delicate vocal theme into “Snowman.” Rainbow's version builds atmospheric tension around the familiar melody before giving Blackmore the opportunity to let loose with a soaring, emotional electric-guitar lead—turning one of animation's most delicate Christmas themes into a distinctly Rainbow instrumental.Synth flute? Check. Fuzzy guitar? Got it. Brad Fiedel The Terminator-style synth percussion? Definitely!

You Are Light. Working with Planetaria. The Game Club. A way to curate and discuss games. Steam reviews that don't count. Completely giving up on tuning your game's difficulty curve and just dropping the tuning parameters in the player's lap. Normie focus testing. Putting the half damage option in the gameplay settings and then putting the no damage option in the accessibility settings. Whether it's still crunch if you're doing it to yourself. Invalidating achievements when the player uses the accessibility options because you still think of them as cheats and want the player to think of them as cheats even as you call them accessibility options. Throwing poop over the wall until the boss dies. Needing a big brother to hand your controller to to play the hard parts. Making all your best prototypes when you're unhappy at your job. Have you heard the good word about PiCoSteveMo? Coming up with a commercially viable prototype ASAP. Making the first thing that comes to mind as quickly as possible and then throwing it away immediately. Becoming a postie so you finally have a day job to hate. Quote-unquote living the dream Why you only get one life in Canabalt. Kids looking at Las Vegas and thinking it looks like bullshit for old people but they still like the feeling of gambling so the play a lot of Binding of Isaac instead. Opening up Pokemon cards packs on Twitch. Opening the pack of Magic cards because you want to feel that rush but you feel nothing because you don't play Magic and don't know what cards are good. Looking for the Magic cards with the coolest quotes on them. Installing a Pac-Man cabinet to liven up your living room's aesthetics. An arcade cabinet that has no controls, it just cycles through the attract modes of various arcade games. Why you want the arcade cabinet to be taller than you are. Putting a tablecloth over the cocktail arcade cabinet when you have your fancy guests over but it keeps making the weird noises so they're like "what's going on down there??" Topic Lords off-season attract mode game jam. Creepypasta attract modes. The four player Avengers arcade game where the attract mode was just the entire running time of Avengers: Age of Ultron. The Minecraft Dungeons arcade machine. Arcade games extruding collectible hero cards. The F-Zero arcade game that you can put your GameCube memory card into to unlock exclusive levels. Zoomers no longer having access to video games because legally they're considered "experiences." Gilbert and Sullivan. Divine Emollient: it's life's moisturizer. Stopping what you're doing to go listen to Pirates of Penzance. Kevin Kline as the Pirate King. Constant emollients on hand. Poetry getting down on one knee and proposing to you. The state of musical theater in the late 1800s. Contexts in which you hear about flowing founts. Poetry's ability to make you want to moisturize. Being into cooking but everyone else suddenly getting way more into cooking. The Mr. Beastification of food Youtube. Using broth from concentrate and it's fine because you don't know any better. Finding new vegetables and trying to figure out how to cook them. Whole spices vs. pre-ground spices. Team Less Time. Why you keep hearing exhortations not to deep fry a turkey. Deep frying gnocchi. Slapped silly by the Fondue Vortex. Which family gets the onion bloomer this week and is eating nothing but blooming onions all week. Relative onion size on different continents. WoW Classic but for fast food.

We take a retrospective journey through the historical milestones that built the video game industry. From Atari's Pong accidentally launching the arcade boom to Nintendo saving its American division with Shigeru Miyamoto's Donkey Kong, we explore how these foundational hits changed entertainment forever. We also examine Toru Iwatani's pizza-inspired Pac-Man, Alexey Pajitnov crossing the Iron Curtain with Tetris, and how Super Mario Bros. defined the home console experience.

Today we're talking the Toys “R” Us Christmas Dream Book 1986!Toys “R” Us goes all the way back to 1948, when Charles Lazarus opened a little Washington, D.C. shop called Children's Bargain Town, selling baby furniture. Eventually he pivoted from cribs and strollers to playthings. In 1957, Lazarus opened the first store under the Toys “R” Us name, built like a supermarket for toys—long aisles, stacked shelves, self-service shopping, and wall-to-wall kids' stuff. This book provides a huge variety of toys. From ThunderCats to Cabbage Patch Kids, there's something for everyone. The Milton Bradley games provided hours of fun, and Cats Lair gave the ThunderCats a base and place of respite in between fighting mutants and berserkers.

Photo by Michael Martine, Chapel Hill, NC Aug 2026 Published 3 August 2026 e563 with Michael, Michael and Andy – Games at Work Game, and a cornucopia of other games: Haex, Pathbind Quest, a physical cockpit for Halcyon Dawn, Chris Pirillo's UFO game from his Arcade and a whole lot more! Michael, Michael and Andy start off this episode with a discussion about what a Games at Work game might look like.  In addition to the idea that there could be three avatars scanning the internet for stories, Michael M reminds the team of a “choose your own adventure” Games at Work game coded back in e35 Pirates of Pizzazz in 2013.  You can still play that game from the link in the show notes!  Then, the team turns to a cornucopia of games.  First up is Haex, an immersive world builder game.  Other games discussed include Baldur's Gate 3, which has a 3rd person over the shoulder mod that had Michael R intrigued.  In Crowd Supply, there is a small piece of hardware that has a virtual world encoded in it called Pathbind Quest.  After checking out an extensively built physical spaceship cockpit to go along with Halcyon Dawn, the co hosts wind up on Chris Pirillo's Vibe Arcade and play the UFO Game.

What's up, dudes? I've got Ken Kessler from Sounds of Christmas and Scott Leopold from Holly Jolly X'masu here to talk the jangle pop/alternative rock album by the Chris Stamey Group “Christmas Time!” After a stint with the dB's, Chris Stamey went out on his own as a solo artist. He invited his former bandmates back for a fun Christmas album. "Christmas Time" was released as a 7-song vinyl EP under the credit Chris Stamey Group with Special Guests The dB's. The EP mixed original songs with inventive takes on Christmas music, emphasizing chorused and reverbed guitars, melodic power pop, and quirky holiday charm. The record was mostly comprised of original tunes, the exception being a reworking of Deck the Hall by Cathy Harrington called Sha La La (Deck the Halls). Something Came Over Me is a reflective, melodic original that balances bittersweet lyrics with shimmering guitars and sophisticated pop arrangements. The opening title track is a bright, jangly power-pop original featuring Chris Stamey and Peter Holsapple's harmonies, chiming guitars, and an infectious holiday hook that perfectly captures the warmth and excitement of Christmas. The Only Law That Santa Claus Understood is a witty folk-pop original by Ted Lyons that pairs clever storytelling with acoustic instrumentation and understated charm, offering one of the collection's most unique lyrical perspectives. Snow Is Falling is a lush, atmospheric ballad featuring bass ostinato and Mary's haunting lead vocal, slowly building into a dreamy meditation on the quiet beauty and peaceful solitude of a snowy Christmas evening. Both are followed by the acoustic guitar instrumental It's a Wonderful Life which quotes What Child is This? to end on a remarkable, intriguing disquiet.Keyboards? Yep. Guitars? Got ‘em. Outlaw wild west Santa? For sure! So grab your record player, put on “Christmas Time,” and listen to this episode!Sounds of ChristmasFB: @SOCMusicTwitter: @SOCMusicIG: @socmusicHolly Jolly X'masuFB: @HollyJollyXmasuTwitter: @HollyJollyXmasuIG: @hollyjollyxmasuGive us a buzz!

What's up, dudes? If you're looking for the ultimate Dolly Christmas special, her 1990 NBC holiday TV event “Dolly Parton: Christmas at Home” is a heartwarming trip back to a simpler Christmas. CJ Bélanger from Rose Suchak Ladder and I have a blast with this one! The special was made to coincide with the release of her new Christmas album. It follows Dolly from a charming Christmas store to a garland-filled Nashville recording studio in the middle of July—where she records holiday classics surrounded by enough tinsel, bows, and magnificent mullets to make any child of the ‘80s smile. From there, she heads home to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, reuniting with her family for playful sibling teasing, treasured childhood memories, and unforgettable performances of Christmas favorites including “I'll Be Home for Christmas,” “Deck the Halls,” “We Three Kings,” “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” and “O Little Town of Bethlehem.” It's classic Dolly: equal parts laughter, storytelling, heartfelt nostalgia, and sparkling holiday magic.As the special continues, Dolly visits a nursing home, takes children through Dollywood during Christmastime, shares touching stories about homemade gifts and family traditions, and celebrates the true meaning of Christmas with performances of “Little Drummer Boy,” “Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town,” “Joy to the World,” “The First Noel,” “Go Tell It on the Mountain,” and a beautiful closing rendition of “Silent Night.” Watching today also offers a delightful time capsule of 1990 Christmas commercials, featuring Chevy, Kodak, McDonald's, Toys “R” Us, Tylenol, and other nostalgic favorites that instantly transport viewers back to the golden age of holiday television. Filled with faith, family, unforgettable music, and enough Christmas spirit to light up the Smoky Mountains, this is one Dolly Parton Christmas special that deserves a place on every retro holiday watchlist.One hundred year old carousel? Check. Wagon rides? Got it. Brothers teasing a sister's looks? Definitely! So grab your guitar, sing about the wisemen, and visit a nursing home with this episode on “Dolly Parton: Christmas at Home!”Rose Suchak LadderIG: @rosesuchakladderpodGive us a buzz!

Embraced by the town's children because they created him, Frosty decides to escape the sweltering heat of the south and head to the North Pole. Throughout, he's chased Thunderbolt Ross-style by Prof. Hinkle, the Hogwarts reject. Unfortunately, the subpar magician even traps the enchanted snowman in a greenhouse which causes him to melt. Luckily, Santa Claus rescues the snowman and reanimates him with eldritch winter sorcery. He also forces the treacherous professor to write lines until he repents.Hogwarts flunkie? Check.
