Not My Fantasy

Journey to Bethlehem (2023) (feat. Katie Little)

Listen Later

 

Happy Holidays from Cullen and Hannah and friend of the pod Katie! This season we controversially stretch the boundaries of our genre to slouch towards Bethlehem with our boy Milo and the team behind Glee and High School Musical. We explore the real war on Christmas, the history of the festive season and even do a seasonal Bible study. (Making Cullen a new favorite of Hannah’s mom) Will our religious upbringing clash with the fun bops of this musical? Will we reignite the wars between Catholics and Protestants? Find out in this seasonal delight of an episode.
