Christmastime Topic from Trammin' Episode 291There are probably a few things that pop right into your head when we say "Christmas at Disneyland." And we can bet that "it's a small world" Holiday is one of them. Whether it's a world of laughter or a world of tears, this ride is the merriest cruise of all through the holidays around the world. The sights and the sounds take us way back to our very first trip around the globe on one of those little boats year after year. The lights twinkle in our eyes as we stand in awe looking at the façade. So join Kirk & Rain as they dash through the snow on a one horse open episode of Trammin' Through the Snow!

Send us a textI love the scene in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation where Chevy Chase is in the attic and he steps on board after board that hits him in the face.  I used to almost pee my pants over that part.  This music video for Blame It On the Mistletoe reminds me of the sentimental scene that follows the slap-happy board face-smacking scene. Clark found old family movies and he's reminiscing. Colleen was purposeful in having the video have that feel as well as a nostalgic timeless feel to the song. Colleen used her contacts during the pandemic to get this video created.  She remembered asking a bandmate and his wife to do a kissing scene since you know, no actors during the pandemic were going to do a kissing scene, LOL!!  Colleen shared about the venue, The Standard, in which the video was recorded. Colleen has performed there many times and met a lot of stars throughout her singing career. She had her friend, Nikki Williams, sing back up on this song. Nikki has some pretty impressive chops and is the go-to in Nashville for songwriting. Colleen gave the inside scoop as to how she and Nikki became friends.  Nikki was all too happy to back up Colleen.  I hope you all check it out but I don't hope for you to get it stuck in your head for a week, like I did!  I "blame it on the mistletoe...." This is on my personal Christmas playlist and will stay there for all future Christmases. Full Show Notes

We're back for our 5th annual Polishing Turds Holiday special! This year we'll be covering the wacky and disturbing world of AI, perhaps the one instrument capable of making Christmas music even worse. We'll take you on a cringe-tastic sleigh ride through vast snowfields of slop; from carols of reindeer sacrifice to fake vulgar Motown hits through - and I swear to god this real - a veritable library of AI Eminem singing gospel music.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, COMMUNITEA!  Auntea Kerel and Auntea Jerrell hold down the fort while Auntea Dawon battles the world's worst Airbnb Wi-Fi. We're kicking things off with a therapy session on "Holiday Late-ness"—is the 5-minute grace period real, or was your dad a "if you aren't an hour early, you're late" kind of man? We also dive into the dark side of the season: Retail Trauma. We talk about why hearing All I Want For Christmas Is You for the 500th time in a shift is a trigger, and why we all owe Jesus a 20-year-overdue apology for the lies we told to skip Bible study. Plus, the Aunteas go head-to-head in their Holiday Music Bracket 2025, debating which Christmas song truly deserves the crown.

Send us a textFor Mansplaining's 6th annual holiday episode, we examine the holiday music that gets played endlessly, in our homes and everywhere we go, at this time of year.  What makes a holiday song good? Which songs resonate for Mark and Joe, and why? And which can we do without? For us, at least, the best holiday songs not only feature strong melodies well sung and played, but they also forge emotional connections in our lives, whereas the worst holiday songs are nothing more than crass attempts to make a buck. (Recorded December 20, 2025.)

For more than three decades, PRX and GBH's "The World" engineer Mike Wilkins has created a mixtape -- now a playlist -- of holiday music full of quirky, weird and sometimes way-out-there songs. We take a listen and learn more about this year's playlist in this special hour-long all-music episode!

This is the final Holiday Tour for the vocal group that visits the Pantages Theater this weekend. Tim Kasper from the group joined Vineeta to discuss their legacy and this weekend's shows in Minneapolis.

On this week's show, we spend quality time with the records that sparked joy, inspired us to get out of bed, face the day & conquer the world as the world continued to rage like a dumpster fire. All this & much, much less! Debts No Honest Man Can Pay is over 2 rock-solid hours of musical eclectica & other noodle stories. The show started in 2003 at WHFR-FM (Dearborn, MI), moved to WGWG-FM (Boiling Springs, NC) in 2006 & Plaza Midwood Community Radio (Charlotte, NC) in 2012, with a brief pit-stop at WLFM-FM (Appleton, WI) in 2004.

Mike Stephen talks to Sarah Conway, the new editor in chief of the Chicago Reader, about the future of the paper, discusses Chicago Public Schools student educational attainment post-graduation with the To&Through Project director of data and research Alexandra Usher, and gets the lowdown on new Holiday music from local guitarist Kevin Brown.

Christmastime Topic from Trammin' Episode 289Another year has gone by, and another Christmas has come, as it does this time each year. It's mostly the same, and not much is new. Do we crave new things, or do we yearn for the Christmases gone by? We look forward to traditions, letting go of old ones, making room for new ones. We grow older as the marshmallow world of our childhood melts away. But we grow fonder of new roots that take hold. What makes Christmas special to us in this phase of our lives?

It is an honor and a privilege to welcome music producer and songwriter Toby Gad to the first Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast Holiday Special!  Toby began his career in the late 1980s, when he and his brother Jens had three of their songs featured on controversial music duo Milli Vanilli's European debut and multi-platinum album, All or Nothing. Because of the songs' success, Milli Vanilli's producer Frank Farian produced the brothers' 1990 debut album, NRG. That same year, Toby met Jacqueline Nemorin, and a 10-year collaboration began with 1992's Creole Dance and continued with 1995's Mission of Love and the title song for Neverending Story III.  Following success in Germany, Toby left for the United States. He opened Strawberrybee studio in Midtown Manhattan and co-wrote “Unspoken” with Madeline Stone and O. Hatch for Christian platinum artist Jaci Velasquez. The song stayed on the Christian Billboard Top 20 Singles chart for half a year.  In 2003, Toby produced and co-wrote “A Toast to Men” for Willa Ford, and two years later, developed, produced, and co-wrote Kaci Brown's Interscope Records debut, Instigator. He also produced and co-wrote songs for Ricky Martin and the Veronicas.  In 2008, his career shifted into high gear after Fergie released a song they co-wrote, “Big Girls Don't Cry.” The song went 4x platinum and peaked at the number one position on the US Billboard Hot 100. He also co-wrote and co-produced Beyoncé's “If I Were A Boy,” which went 2x platinum and peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100. He continued to write massive hits for Calum Scott (“No Matter What”), Demi Lovato (“Skyscraper”), Jessie J (“Who You Are”), Josh Groban (“River”), Leona Lewis (“Fire Under My Feet'), and Madonna (“Bitch, I'm Madonna” and “Living for Love”).  One of his massive hits was John Legend's “All of Me,” which earned RIAA's 13x Diamond (Highest Certified RIAA Single in History) and won Grammy, Soul Train, and NAACP Awards.  Recently, Toby Gad released his first holiday studio album, Piano Diaries Christmas. The album features original songs co-written with an all-star group of recording artists. Anthony Gargiula, Gavin James, Huntley, Joelle James, Jordin Sparks, Loren Allred, Marisha Wallace, Sam Ryder, and Victoria Justice are some of the talented vocalists who are featured on the record.    When he is not in the recording studio, Toby is also the host of the Songs You Know Podcast. In each episode, Toby and his guests uncover the tales, creative processes, and moments of magic that brought iconic songs you know and love to life. Previous guests include Billy Steinberg, Jessie J, Josh Groban, Justin Tranter, Lindy Robbins, Loren Allred, and Marisha Wallace.  On the 2025 holiday special, Toby Gad talked about his songwriting sessions with Beyonce and Demi Lovato, writing “All of Me” with John Legend, the moment he swore at the Queen of Pop, and previewed Piano Diaries Christmas.
