In this Christmas Special, the final episode of Key Changes's first season, Neil has a cup of cheer and speaks to himself. He discusses the state of his and Allison's apartment, his gratitude for Key Changes's listeners, his semester abroad in St Andrews, Scotland, drug addiction and its effects as seen on city streets, suffering that's set in motion for you, his best friend Alex, the melancholy and imperfection of the holiday season, Australian musicians Nick Cave and Alex Cameron, controversies caused by unsavory lyrics, Yung Lean sampling Billy Bragg, and two musicians' remembrances. He explores which song reminds him of a trip he's taken and which song never fails to make him smile.
