Mele Kalikimaka! We’re back with a Christmas Special, in which we watch the other Christmas episode of “Magnum, p.i.”, from exactly 40 years ago. It was very early in the show’s first season and a bunch of little girls pull one over on Magnum. Paintings are involved! But it’s all, very vaguely, part of the festive Hawaiian holiday spirit. Then we introduce numerous new segments, which is an odd choice for a podcast that’s still on a hiatus. You’ll want to stick around, because Phil’s prophetic words in our last episode. Paintings are still involved! - Host Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.

In the spirit of the season, we discuss when a Christmas tree is dead. (Thanks to Listener Darran.) - Host John Siracusa and Jason Snell.
