CWFC 036 – Remembering Toys R Us
As the era of Toys R Us comes to an end, we take a look back at the rise and fall of this toy giant. Plus we countdown YOUR suggestions for non-Christmas Christmas songs, get a recipe from the east, and pit Hansen against the Shins in a Who Sang It Best.
This episode is dedicated to the late Charles Lazarus. I tried to tell your story as best and as honestly as I could.
