In a special Christmas week edition of Chat with Stu Mac, Scott Jagow, Stuart McMillan, and Matt Podjeski share their personal Christmas traditions, from cutting down a tree in the Mark Twain National Forest to real trees, Candy Cane Lane, and holiday concerts like Mannheim Steamroller and Trans-Siberian Orchestra. The conversation also explores unique and sometimes bizarre Christmas customs from around the world, including Japan's KFC tradition and Iceland's Yule Cat.

In this special Christmas episode, Barney and Ken explore how to stay focused on the true meaning of Christmas when the holiday season is "all around us" but often stripped of its deeper significance. Barney shares his unique experience celebrating Christmas in Japan, where it's more of a date night than a religious holiday, while Ken reflects on his American traditions and family memories. Together, they discuss Advent practices, meaningful Christmas artifacts, nativity scenes, and the challenge of passing faith traditions to the next generation. The episode concludes with Ken reading a moving story from Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Christmas Eve and Other Stories" about an angel's search for what best represents the spirit of Christmas.

On today's show, Scoot talks about going to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert, President Trump's primetime speech, and The Rolling Stones cancelling a planned tour due to Keith Richard's health. Also, Scoot talks about President Trump signing an executive order classifying marijuana as a Schedule 3 drug, the San Antonio family fined $2,500 by their Homeowners Association for decorating their home like the Griswolds from "Christmas Vacation," and Tucker Carlson's failed prediction that President Trump will announce war with Venezuela during his speech. Then, Kevin Todd of thesportsbrokers.com joins the show to give his football predictions for this week.

This week, Hannah and Barbi dive into the rich history behind some of our most beloved Christmas traditions. They explore the origins of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra - from its powerful storytelling to its extraordinary charitable impact - before jumping into the surprising beginnings of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the iconic voice of Burl Ives.The conversation also takes a fascinating turn into the era of celebrity blacklisting during the 40s and 50s, the golden age of stop-motion animation, and how these moments shaped the holiday specials we still cherish today.And woven throughout it all is a heartfelt reminder of the importance of grandparents, the wisdom they hold, and the memories they gift us. With plenty of nostalgia, history, and holiday warmth, this episode is a meaningful celebration of Christmas past and present.

Miss Heard celebrates Season 7, Episode 329 and explores how Trans-Siberian Orchestra transformed Pachelbel's Canon in D into a modern holiday anthem, why it hits us so emotionally, and how a centuries-old melody became one of Christmas music's most powerful—and unintentionally hilarious earworms.

Send us a textThis week, co-host Nickell attempts to get the Time Pals into the holiday spirit—launching them on a nostalgic, chaotic, music-filled sleigh ride.From quitting a job for Cake, discovering their inner power-punk with Green Day, feeling like they're fearlessly marching into certain doom with Sabaton, getting blasted by the holiday-magic lasers of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and reminding everyone that Limp Bizkit's “Nookie” is actually a poetic breakup song—this episode dives into the albums and bands that shaped the Pals, inspired them, and still hit just as hard today.

In this episode of Everything Is Personal, Sean McNab walks us through an extraordinary life in music and performance. He remembers the 10-year-old who left the cinema after Tommy and knew he had to play music — how John Entwistle and the sound of the bass hooked him, and how an Indiana kid ended up onstage with Quiet Riot within weeks of arriving in LA.

Now that the government has reopened, there are a couple of different debates that will immediately get underway. 42 million people receive SNAP benefits for basic needs. How much fraud? Turns out a lot of it and the Secretary of Agriculture is prepared to lower the boom on it in a new report next week. Stigall has some preliminary numbers. One of the greatest Christmas traditions for the Stigall family is going to see Trans Siberian Orchestra at Christmas. They're launching their tour this week and their lead guitarist and musical director Al Pitrelli stops by to talk about a huge milestone they reached this year. Secretary of State Marco Rubio makes no bones about sending naval vessels to the Caribbean to flex at Venezuela. And Congressman Scott Perry explains why now is the perfect time to have a new debate about Obamacare. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every holiday season, Trans-Siberian Orchestra electrifies audiences with a symphony of rock, lights, and storytelling unlike anything else on earth. Nine-time Emmy winner David Sams sits down with Al Pitrelli—TSO's lead guitarist, musical director, and founding member—to reveal the heart, history, and humanity behind one of America's most cherished Christmas traditions. From the early days of analog tape and late nights in the studio to selling out arenas across the country, Al shares how The Ghosts of Christmas Eve continues to evolve while keeping Paul O'Neill's vision alive. Hear how TSO balances nostalgia with innovation, what fans can expect from this year's breathtaking production, and why this music connects generations every winter. Whether you're a lifelong fan or discovering TSO for the first time, this inspiring conversation captures the artistry, emotion, and sheer power of the band that defines the sound of the season. ✨ Experience the magic live—find a show near you and get tickets at TSOTickets.com.

Send us a textA twenty-year reunion turns into a masterclass on survival, adaptation, and the art of playing for keeps. We sit down with guitarist, writer, and singer George Cintron to trace a line from a Puerto Rican household in Bayshore—where top 40 radio was the cultural gateway—to roaring Long Island clubs, studio sessions with heavy hitters, and a phone call that vaulted him onto arena stages with Enrique Iglesias. George shares how a gold-top Les Paul and theory class became real gigs, why auditions used to be about skill, and how the drinking age shift quietly gutted a thriving band economy.The story pulls no punches on today's bar math: band pay that never rose, owners who book by headcount, and hobby acts undercutting rates. Yet it's not a rant; it's a roadmap. You'll hear the Enrique break—how speaking Spanish got George hired to help form the touring band and teach phonetics to non-Spanish speakers—and what it felt like when Bailamos turned a summer tour into a year-end sprint. Then we jump to Trans Siberian Orchestra and the long-running Windborne Music shows, where Zeppelin, Queen, and Pink Floyd get rebuilt with a full symphony and a rock band at center. Charts are precise, subs are surgical, and the result draws multiple generations without diluting the punch.Woven through the tour stories are studio truths (why producers say “be yourself” then ask for less), candid talk about health and aging, and the case for steady rehearsal as the secret engine of great bands. If you care about live music, gig economics, and how players actually make it work, this conversation is a clear-eyed, generous guide.

In today's episode host James Cox sits down with veteran rocker David Ellefson—a guitarist whose love affair with music began at eleven, when the bass line of Bachman‑Turner‑Overdrive's Not Fragile sparked a lifelong obsession. From those early needle‑drops to the thunder of KISS‑era amps, David walks us through the soundtrack of his life: the grind of marching‑band sax, the thrill of early cover‑band gigs, and the relentless quest to chase the songs that saved him from the darkness of depression.We dive deep into David's recent projects—his “No Cover” collection of beloved cuts, the hard‑rock collaboration with Jeff Scott Soto on the new album Unbreakable, and the behind‑the‑scenes stories from legendary Battery Studios in London, the very rooms that birthed Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, and even the original Nevermind console. Along the way, we hear anecdotes about the Trans‑Siberian Orchestra, Megadeth's “Big Four” saga, and a poignant moment recording a video right as the world mourned Ozzy Osbourne's passing.If you've ever found solace in a guitar solo, a soaring vocal, or the simple act of pressing play, this conversation is for you. Tune in as we explore how music not only fuels a career but also becomes a lifeline—one chord at a time.
