Ho ho ho and welcome to another fabulous holiday-themed edition of the Marking Time Podcast! It’s hard to believe this is our sixth Christmas season together, but we’re thrilled once again to delight you with a full two hours of real, grown-up music to accompany all your Yuletide activities.
The Marking Time Podcast Episode 90 (Holiday Edition #6) is true to its forebears in form and function, and is a perfect accompaniment for entertaining guess, wrapping gifts or trimming the tree. We hope you treasure this collection and listen again and again.
It’s also a great opportunity to thank all our listeners for the amazing support we’ve received throughout the year. It’s been a painful year in the music world, but as a community we pull together and celebrate the amazing sounds our featured artists gift us year after year. So from our family to yours, we wish you all the best of the season and a very happy and healthy New Year. Cheers!
