11. The Holiday Episode.
“If people are singing Christmas carols in a bar: I’m not so into that. But
onstage, in a rabbit costume? It’s a totally different thing.”
Well, of course we had to do a holiday episode! If you feel isolated—either
because you’re alone for the holidays, or because you don’t feel close to the
people you’re spending them with—this can be a lonely time of year. But it can
also be an opportunity to try to create the kinds of get-togethers and
traditions you wish you had, even if those don’t look conventionally
“festive”. If you’re the kind of person who does love the holidays, it can
be a chance to share the cheer. And also, honestly, this time of year can just
be straight-up weird. Especially if you spend it at the mall, dressed as a
cartoon rabbit.
You’ll hear that story from one of my guests, as well as several stories sent
in by listeners, who have tried everything from joining the festivities of a
Christmas-loving family to opting out of the holidays altogether.
Guests.
Shari Kasman is a writer,
multidisciplinary artist, and piano teacher. Her collection of short stories,
Everything Life Has to
Offer, exists thanks to Invisible Publishing. She has created art for both
private space and public space, including a photocollage around a construction
site. Most recently, Shari made a photo book about Toronto’s Galleria Mall. It
is called Galleria: The Mall that Time Forgot. Her background is in music.
Chris Piuma spends most of his time
podcasting these days. He’s one of the co-founders of Megaphonic FM and he’s
the producer and editor of this very show. He also hosts The Scene Of The
Scene, which tries to capture the
conversation you have with your friends when you’ve just seen a movie
together. He created The Scene Of The Scene to make himself leave the house
and see his friends more.

Many young adults in the UK say they have no-one to spend Christmas
with.
