In today's program, it's our 2023 CHRISTMAS SPECIAL. We've been putting this show together annually since 2018.

Before we begin, I want to personally offer my thanks to the great team here at the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST. Fourty-five new shows, including this one, went out this year, not including any new shows that go up until the end of the year.

We passed the 500,000 downloads mark and we are 45,000 downloads away from 600,000 all time.

We made it back to FM radio, albeit briefly. If I can remember correctly, only one episode went on the air at BUTE ISLAND RADIO before the s__t the fan! I’m hoping to get back on the FM dial sometime in 2024. I think that’s where the show ultimately belongs—at least a show with this format—so I just need to find a place that wants me.

We've been ranking in the top 200 all over the world. Today we are #6 in Cyprus. Thanks to all of our listeners in Cyprus!

The point is, people are still listening and I owe much of our success to ... Jason Drury, Eric Silver, J. Blake Fichera, Robert Daniels, Randy Andrew, the voice of CSR Tim Burden, in-house composer David Coscina, and Ley Bricknell.

And of course, I cannot forget you... the listener... thank you very much for spending some time with us today!

So let's get into the program, and as we did over the past SIX years, this show is a collaborative effort. Each participating host will get a segment of their own on the program to play whatever festival score they see fit.

On today's program, four CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST hosts join me again to celebrate the holiday season by playing Christmas-themed music from a wide variety of film, TV and video game scores. Join Jason Drury from THE ARCHIVE & TALKING SOUNDTRACKS, J. Blake Fichera from SCORED TO DEATH RADIO, Randy Andrews from THE ANIME SPECTACULAR & THE ESSENTIAL SOUNDTRACKS, Eric Silver from THE 1UPBEAT,  and me, Erik Woods, for our annual Yuletide spectacular.

On the show today, you are going to hear selections from DEN FØRSTE JULEN I SKOMAKERGATA aka CHRISTMAS IN COBBLER STREET (Storaas), HOOK (Williams), ROCKY IV (Dicola), PREP AND LANDING (Giacchino), HOGWART'S LEGACY (Rakozy) and a special gift at the end of the show.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
