It's the second episode of the Total Christmas Podcast and this time we look at the history of mince pies and give a few interesting facts.

This episodes version of A Christmas Carol is the 1971 Oscar winning animated version with the voice of Alistair Sim.

We hear from listener Kate Beringer from Kingston Falls, New York State in the US, the sad story of how she found out the truth about Santa Claus.

And this week's recommendation is also this weeks Christmas story of shame featuring a clip from the great podcast Free To A Good Home with Michael Hing and Ben Jenkins.

Merry Christmas

In the first episode of the Total Christmas Podcast we introduce some of the segments we'll be featuring each episode.

We discuss the classic Christmas love song A Winter's Tale by David Essex, the Christmas sport of Genna played in Ethiopia, Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol and much more.

There's also a disclaimer at the start apologising for the quality of this first attempt at a podcast.
You'd think it would be easy recording something like this but we like to think we've proved otherwise.

Merry Christmas
