Tis the PodcastCan I Keep You? (Casper)
Happy Monday, Christmas fanatics! And Happy October! We are that much closer to Christmas, as well as the other 'Ber Month holidays that we love - Thanksgiving and Halloween!
To officially kick-off Spooky Season, the elves welcome back the amazing Natalie Bickel to discuss the first live-action theatrical outing of the friendliest ghost you know, "Casper"! What do they think of this '90's classic that isn't afraid to go quite dark and depressing at times? (Much to the uncomfortable amusement of one particular elf.) Especially given the fact that only two of them have seen the movie in full b...

Thank God It's Toby HighlightsNat BickelChristmas brings out excitement, joy, and love of family. For siblings, Ryan and Natalie, it does even more than that. It stirs up anticipation and friendly competition because when Santa visits their house, he leaves clues. He hides them under couches, in cookie jars, outside in the snow, and even in the bathtub. Santa doesn't simply drop off the presents and leave like usual through the chimney. At Ryan and Natalie's house, he gives them the thrill of a Christmas morning scavenger hunt. It's a mad dash after all the other presents are opened, as they take turns reading clue...

2022-12-181h 55Tis the Podcast”The Christmas Clue” with Natalie Bickel!What's this? A bonus episode on a Sunday? What's going on?
Well, as you can tell from the fact that the only elf present on this episode is Anthony (sorry, y'all!) and the intro to the episode itself, this was originally meant as a bonus, Patreon-exclusive! However, we wanted our good friend Natalie Bickel to be able to spread the word about her amazing children's book, "The Christmas Clue", as far and wide as possible, so we decided to put this on the main feed instead!

Seit sechs Wochen protestieren die Menschen dort gegen das brutale Regime und riskieren dabei tagtäglich, misshandelt, ins Gefängnis gesteckt oder gar getötet zu werden.
