Christmas carols started as drunk pagan hype tracks, got banned as dangerous, then came back as sentimental cash machines—and that arc looks a lot like podcasting right now. In this solo riff, Freddy dismantles safe, background‑music content and makes the case for episodes that feel like carols people actually want to belt in the cold. If you’re tired of “best practices” that drain the soul out of your show, this one’s your ritual.
