- A SymphonyLAB ChristmasWelcome to our 2021 Christmas Special! This year we revisit the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future through discussion and games, including Christmas Question Roulette ("What was the worst gift YOU'VE ever received?"). Our special guest is TSO Marketing Manager Allie Dresser, who gives us the scoop on her highly sports-oriented Wintertime traditions. We also hold our very first SymphonyLAB gift give-exchange (or "not-so-secret" Santa, as it were). Merry Christmas and a Joyous Holiday Season to all!51 min

- Hallelujah!We celebrate the glorious return of the TSO's annual Messiah performance with a deep dive into the Handel classic, which took a leave of absence last year due to the pandemic. Helping us out is soprano and arts innovator Jennifer Cresswell, who not only appears as soloist for the TSO's Christmas at the Peristyle concert, but takes up the soprano solos in Handel's Messiah. And yes, there's more as we examine yet another classic (NW Ohio style) in our Handel vs. Handel's quiz!42 min

- Thanksgiving with MaryIt's that time of year, as we welcome special guest Mary Bilyeu (Food Editor of The Blade) into the studio for our annual Thanksgiving Special. Mary tells us about her various holiday projects and also offers up some Thanksgiving advice. As an added bonus, we do the "Saltine Cracker Challenge" – which is about as far as you can get from gastronomical delight, but entertaining nonetheless (even though you can't talk when your mouth is full of crackers!). But wait, there's more — can you match the composer with their favorite meal? Find out in our quiz of the day!45 min
