Every December, the same two songs return — playing in stores, homes, airports, and holiday parties around the world. Do They Know It's Christmas? and Last Christmas have become so deeply embedded in our global celebration of the season that it feels like they've always been there. But they haven't. In this episode, Kate takes a deep dive into the remarkable back stories behind two of the most iconic Christmas songs ever recorded, both released within days of each other in December 1984 — and both created under dramatically different circumstances.

Join Bianca and Julian for their final episode of 2026, as they unwrap a Christmas classic: “Last Christmas" by Wham! In this holiday send-off, they tackle a few burning questions: Why is this song so infectious? Why does it feel timeless decades later? And why has it been copied so endlessly? They dig into the influences and science behind George Michael's hit, breaking down its composition, arrangement, and production choices that give the song its staying power. From there, they branch out into four (…maybe five) tracks clearly inspired by “Last Christmas,” exploring how the song's DNA and tricks pop up in several hits from artists of different genres.  As part of the conversation, Bianca and Julian wrestle with the cringe factor of Christmas music, the enduring power of Eurovision-style pop, and the influence of opera in pop music. They also discuss holiday movies, upcoming film releases they're excited about, and the shocking, deeply sad news of Rob and Michele Reiner's tragic deaths. So pour some mulled wine, embrace the minor-key melancholy, and get ready for one last festive deep dive before the year wraps. Happy Holidays and New Year from Bianca and Julian!

GRAMMY winner and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer Mike Reid chats about his remarkable musical life. PART ONEScott and Paul talk about the sports games and so much morePART TWOOur in depth conversation with Mike ReidABOUT MIKE REIDNashville Songwriters Hall of Famer Mike Reid has written twelve #1 country songs and has had his work recorded by Bonnie Raitt, Anita Baker, Bette Midler, Prince, George Michael, Nancy Wilson, Etta James, Kenny Rogers, Ann Murray, Wynonna Judd, Alabama, Joe Cocker, Tanya Tucker, Willie Nelson, Collin Raye and Tim McGraw. He is perhaps best known for co-writing the modern-day standard “I Can't Make You Love Me” with Allen Shamblin. Launching his music career as a staff songwriter for country star Ronnie Milsap's publishing company, Reid penned Milsap hits such as “Stranger in My House,” which won a Grammy for Best Country Song” and “Lost in the Fifties Tonight,” which was named ASCAP's Country Song of the Year. As an artist, Mike signed with Columbia Records and scored a #1 hit with the self-penned “Walk on Faith.”Others who've recorded Reid's songs include Tammy Wynette, Rita Coolidge, Don Williams, Billy Dean, Josh Turner, Shelby Lynne, The Judds, George Jones, and Shania Twain. A true Renaissance man, Reid went on to compose theatrical and operatic works, winning a Richard Rodgers Development Award from the Academy of Arts and Letters for 1997's The Ballad of Little Jo. His most recent project is a collaborative album with Joe Henry called Life and Time.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Good Morning, ‘Hark!' ‘Do you hear what I hear?' ‘They said there'd be snow this Christmas; they said there'd be peace on earth' ‘Do they know it's Christmas?' ‘I pray God it's our last!' Throughout the land the lyrics of Christmas songs are being piped in shopping centres and pubs and, loved or loathed, we sing along. This year's official Christmas No1 will be decided on Friday. Current favourite is Kylie, with oldies from George Michael and Slade chasing hard. As Slade's Noddy Holder sings; ‘Does your granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best.' Then, in a tradition begun by Lennon and taken up by Rage Against The Machine, there are the Christmas protest songs. This year's from Brian Eno and Peter Gabriel with ‘Lullaby', a song for Gaza, and Billy Bragg's ‘Put Christ Back Into Christmas', with Bragg asking us ‘to stand with those who need the most' and reminding us that Christmas celebrates the birth of a refugee. It seems very British to me that we are free to mix protest in with sentimentality and silliness. The Christmas story is spacious enough to contain all our hopes and fears, our joy and praise, our rage and indifference. Even our scrooge-iest revulsion. For I contend that the birth of Christ is itself a kind of cosmic protest song. The original Christmas No.1 was after all sung by angels to people at the margins of society: the young Mary and Shepherds, those far from the corridors of power and status; a startling song that announces a change to the status quo, a tune sweeter and louder than the prevailing mood music of despair, the monotonous dirge of violence and oppressive power, of one bad thing after another: ‘Do not be afraid' it declares. ‘There will be peace on earth.' It's arguable that we might never have heard this story had the message not been sung to people who were immediately in tune with it, and able to sing back in words of astonished wonder and praise: ‘he has scattered the proud, put down the mighty, exalted those of lowly degree.' Or ‘My eyes have seen your salvation.' Once you've ‘hailed the incarnate deity'; or seen the Godhead veiled in flesh, the chances are you're going to sing about it. Christmas invites the world to sing a different tune. I'd even suggest that part of the reason we still sing about it – even if we stray into sentiment - is that its core melody is like a pop tune or great carol you can't help but sing along with. ‘No. I can't get you out of my head; because God and sinners are reconciled; because mild he lays his glory by; the hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee; And so this is Christmas.'

“You gotta have faith,” George Michael sang a long time ago. Given the unfortunate fate that befell that conflicted artist, it's worth taking a moment to reflect upon how hard it is to find inner peace, and make a commitment to whatever faith you still possess during this Christmas season. Life is very complicated right now and holding on to love, practicing gratitude, and radiating good intentions will help to get us through these dark days. We here at The Hotel Bohemia want to gift you a holiday sampler chock full of savory contradictions and sweet mysteries, delivered by Jan and Dean, Tom Jones, and Evil Wiener. Since Xmas celebrates the birth of the redeemer, and the gift Christ offered to the world, the three songs lined up today trace the arc of his sacrifice and our crisis of faith: The Annunciation (Jan & Dean); the Crucifixion (Tom Jones); and, finally, the Resurrection (Evil Wiener)The Annunciation (T.A.M.I Show Theme: Jan and Dean)Jan and Dean, like two sun-kissed Angels, announce to the world that a youthful era of optimism has begun. Rock and Roll will save the world, they proclaim, and, we, the youth believed it. In the T.A.M.I. show theme song you can feel the exuberance of their faith. Two years later, Jan Berry almost dies from a car crash, and today the Boomers are rapidly going down in shameful flames, but in this time capsule from 1964 none of that is on the horizon- it's all smooth sailing ahead.The Crucifixion (Charlie Darwin: Tom Jones)Here the smooth sailing is over, and the all encompassing ocean is overwhelming a ship's crew - they are drowning. From out of the God given pipes of Sir Tom Jones, a prayer goes out - but to whom? There is a deep crisis of faith portrayed here in mysterious utterances. Does Charlie Darwin represent an irreconcilable conflict between natural selection and charity? Did he try to tell us something that we weren't ready to hear? That Survival of the Fittest must doom us? Just as Jesus cried out on the cross, “why have you forsaken me?” The crew here is also expressing a crisis of faith. Or, is there a conflict at all? In the end faith is all they have. They are crying out to God as the water consumes them.The Resurrection (All Over the World: Evil Wiener)Bill McCormick, aka Billy Sugarfix, aka Evil Weiner may have had some doubts about the existence of Santa Claus, (and by extension, the Savior), but he's returned to the fold of the faithful. From the special edition EP from 1993 on the Flavor-Contra label, here is Evil Wiener's goofy recommitment to his faith - and a joy filled Birthday Greeting to Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas everybody!

What if the most meaningful things we ever do are the ones no one will ever see?This episode was inspired by a powerful article I read about George Michael and the countless acts of anonymous generosity he carried out during his life. (You'll hear me accidentally say he passed in 2026 instead of 2016 — a very human slip — but the heart of the story stands.)His legacy is a reminder that real impact is quiet, soulful, and never dependent on recognition. In a world that has become increasingly performative, today's conversation guides us back to intention, depth, and the kind of giving that comes from our truest selves.What you'll hear in this episode:The George Michael story that sparked today's messageWhy so much of our world has become performativeHow to check your intention before you give or serveWhat it feels like to act from soul instead of egoWhy approval seeking keeps us disconnectedReflection questions to help you return to heart-led actionA reminder that real impact never needs an audienceClosing affirmation:I choose to give because it feels right, not because it will be seen.Sponsor note:If you want to deepen your connection with the young person in your life, pick up The Connection Book on Amazon.

Don and Dude continue their celebration of Casey Kasem and the enduring legacy of American Top 40. For this installment of Classic Casey Countdowns, the guys turn the dial back to the week of November 10, 1984,  a neon-saturated era when pop, soul, and MTV all collided. Two albums from that chart dominate the discussion, both tied to unforgettable Top 10 singles that defined mid‑Eighty's radio magic.Billy Ocean – Suddenly (1984) The Trinidad‑born singer's breakthrough LP fused R&B, post‑disco, and pop into a sleek, heartfelt package. Produced by Keith Diamond, the record launched Ocean into global stardom with “Caribbean Queen (No More Love on the Run)”—the #1 hit that ruled both the Hot 100 and soul charts. Ocean's smooth tenor, vibrant sax hooks, and narrative flair set the tone for an album balancing dance‑floor confidence (“Loverboy”) and tenderness (“Suddenly”). Musical craftsmanship, rich production, and emotional sincerity make this a quintessential 1984 crossover.Wham! – Make It Big (1984) Recorded mainly in France and crafted by George Michael, this pop‑soul phenomenon redefined chart‑topping polish. “Wake Me Up Before You Go‑Go” kicked off Wham!'s four‑for‑four streak of U.S. #1 singles, pairing Motown bounce with pure 80s exuberance. Deeper cuts like “Everything She Wants” and “Careless Whisper” showcase lyrical weight beneath the brightness—proof of Michael's emerging genius as writer, producer, and arranger. It's colorful, confident, and irresistibly hook‑laden pop that still resonates decades later.Dude is Diggin":Whiskey Myers – Whomp Whack Thunder (2025)Pearl Jam – Vs. (1993) (vinyl)Don is Diggin' :Heaven 17 – new album, 2026 (feat. “There's Something About You”)The New Wave Music Podcast Episode 121 (featuring Don as guest reviewer)Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds.

I 1977 tháinig sé amach gur chaill nach mór 400 duine a bpost a raibh ag obair I Roches Stores I mBaile Átha Cliath agus dúradh go mbeadh an siopa chun dúnadh de bharr stailc de 100 duine eile a bhí ag obair ann. I 1988 bhí laethanta saoire do na meánscoil chun a bheith laghdaithe agus bhí siad chun féachaint orthu I comhráite idir an rialtas agus na múinteoirí. I 1977 tháinig sé amach go raibh na daoine a raibh ina chónaí in áit in Inis chun gearradh siar ar an chíos de bharr go raibh taistealaí ina chónaí ann. I 1994 bhí mol ann chun cosaint a chur ar na bpost a raibh faoi bhaol ag an stáisiúin Moneypoint de bharr go raibh plean réasúnachas ag an ESB. Sin David Soul le Silver Lady – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1977. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1992 thóg George Michael, Sony Records chuig na cúirte de bharr an conradh a bhí aige leis an chomhlacht. Chaill sé an cás I 1994. D'oibrigh sé le Sony arís 10 mbliain tar éis. I 2006 chuaigh Evanescence chuig uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena dara halbam The Open Door. Bhí an t-albam sin an 700ú halbam ar na cairteacha óna thosaigh na cairteacha I 1956. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Kim Kardashian I Meiriceá I 1980 agus rugadh aisteoir Andrew Scott in Éirinn ar an lá seo I 1976 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 21st of October, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1977: Nearly 400 employees of Roches Stores in Henry street Dublin were laid off last night and the store will be closed due to continuing unofficial strike of about 100 other workers there. 1988: Post primary school holidays are facing holiday cuts as as they are expected to be reviewed in forthcoming negotiations between the government, teacher unions and managers. 1977: A group of Ennis residents have threatened a rents strike if the Urban council doesn't rid their area of travelers. 1994: New moves to safeguard jobs under threat at the Money Point generating station because of the ESB's proposed rationalism plans were launched. That was David Soul with Silver Lady – the biggest song on this day in 1977 Onto music news on this day In 1992 George Michael took Sony Records to court in a fight over his contract with the company; he lost the case in 1994. Michael worked with Sony again less than 10 years later. 2006 Evanescence were at No.1 on the US album chart with their second album 'The Open Door.' It became the 700th No.1 album in Billboard since the chart became a weekly feature in 1956. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – Kim Kardashian was born in America in 1980 and actor Andrew Scott was born in Ireland on this day in 1976 and this is some of the stuff he has done.
