On the Saturday December 23, 2023 edition of the Richard Crouse Show we have look at some of the greatest Christmas songs of all time. First we meet Moe Berg, one forth of the Trans-Canada Highwaymen, a new band that consists of four of this country's best rock singer-songwriters,  Sloan's Chris Murphy, Odds' Craig Nothey and former Barenaked Ladies frontman Steven Page.  The album, “Explosive Hits Vol. 1,” is covers of Canadian AM rock radio hits from the 1960s and 70's and it's super fun. Moe Berg and I talk about the new album, and then get into the spirit of the season as Moe talks about a Christmas song he wrote with the Pursuit of Happiness and a tune he loves so much, he has a plaque with the lyrics. “Furious Devotion” author Richard Balls joins me to talk about “Fairytale of New York,”  a song that is an Irish folk-style ballad and was written as a duet, with the Pogues' singer Shane MacGowan and Kristy MacColl as bickering former lovers on Christmas Eve. A song about their youthful hopes crushed by alcohol and drug addiction doesn't sound like a Christmas cracker, but in the UK it was the most-played Christmas song of the 21st century and re-enters the music charts every December. We'll also get to know Larry Weinstein, director of the documentary “Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas,” a musical documentary about the amazing story of a group of Jewish songwriters who wrote the soundtrack to Christmas, and we'll learn how the Cuban Missile Crisis inspired one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time. Finally we wrap with Brent Butt, the star, writer and/or producer of TV shows such as “Corner Gas,” “Hiccups” and “Corner Gas Animated,” and the author of the best-selling thriller “Huge,” and home designer, television host and producer, best-selling author, sought-after public speaker, and host of her own special Tuscan getaways Debbie Travis on their favorite Christmas songs and stories.

You can find Jillian on her website, as well as Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. The new season of Love It or List It Vancouver premieres April 1st on HGTV Canada. You can find the show on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. In this episode of the podcast I also share my tips for improving your smartphone photos, including using Jillian's photo editing presets. I purchased them for mobile and love them! You can find the presets here. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to ask Jillian all of the questions sent in by listeners. I will save some for next time! If you're interested, my previous Q & A for the blog with Jillian and fiancé Justin in 2017 is here. On an interesting note: the first time I interviewed Jillian back in 2013, I asked her for three items from her bucket list. Her response: "Definitely a couple of kids, more travel (can’t get enough!) and finishing the reno on my house in Kelowna." I think she's done well!

My New Year's resolution is to call more people and speak to them, rather than pretend I know what's going on in their lives because I follow them on Facebook or Instagram. Natasha was my first victim. After 12 years, I spoke with her about her ascension to morning radio in Montreal, her stint working for Entertainment Tonight Canada, her experiences as a mom, and coping with life's unexpected changes.

Debbie realized a few years ago, that she was no longer challenged by her successful TV career and she was so busy she felt she was missing out on the people and things that made her happy in her life.

After her successful TV career producing shows that aired internationally, Debbie Travis felt that she was missing out on the things and people that made her happy. Along came her plan to renovate a Tuscany farmhouse into a hotel retreat. Her new book, Design Your Next Chapter: How to realize your dreams and reinvent your life, is her own experience of how she made this happen.  Debbie joins guest host "Zack" Shane Hewitt to talk about the book and her journey.

Debbie Travis talks about her new book Design Your Next Chapter: How to Realize Your Dreams and Reinvent Your Life, and I share 10 ways to simplify Christmas and why I love medi-pedis!   Debbie's fantastic book (which also includes lots of space for your own notes and ideas) can be found here: Design Your Next Chapter: How to Realize Your Dreams and Reinvent Your Life     (By the way, her last book, perfect for moms from birth to empty nest, is called Not Guilty.) You can also find Debbie on her website, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Something that didn't come up in our conversation, but still an interesting tidbit: the first time Debbie was asked to be on Oprah (on a design panel years ago) she had to say no! (There was a work trip to Italy that her boys were also scheduled to join her on and things couldn't be rearranged.) However, not long after she was invited again to come and chat with Oprah, one-on-one that time...a story I keep in mind whenever I feel like saying no to an opportunity is going to ruin my future completely! Debbie's book tour will be crossing the country, so find her at a location near you!     In my first segment I talked about medi-pedis, and for local listeners, I get them here. While you'll want to listen to the podcast for all the great ideas from Facebook followers, you can also read my full blog post with 10 Ways To Simplify Christmas. Thanks to my podcast editor, Lukas Wojcicki!
