Episode G of The Christmas Alphabet Podcast.

Christmas Alphabet is a podcast about Christmas all through the year, in alphabetical order. Every two weeks there's a new episode about Christmas feelings and facts all starting with one letter of the alphabet.
The podcast is written and hosted by Wayne -  an author, broadcaster and Baptist pastor in Manchester, UK.

This time it's all sorts of things starting with the letter G
We have G for Gift-Giving and for Angel Gabriel and Gavin and Stacey at Christmas.
Our Christmas song among many Gs is Good King Wenceslas, and we unpack the unlikely story of the man who wasn't a king and the man who made up a carol to tell his story.
