Snow in Southtown Christmas Podcast

Easter 2026 – The Tale of the Bunny Picnic

snowinsouthtown@gmail.com (Snow in Southtown Podcast) — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 14:53:43 +0000

We’re officially kicking off our year of the 1980s with our Easter episode, discussing The Tale of the Bunny Picnic (1986). We also stay in 1986 to talk about some music from the Billboard Pop Chart released on April 5th of that year.

Throughout 2026 we’ll be visiting the ’80s, leading up to our Christmas season, where we’ll cover all ’80s movies, TV shows, music, and more. We’ll also take a side trip this summer to take a deep dive into Dickens and A Christmas Carol.

It’ll be a fun year. Be sure to reach out if you have any comments or suggestions!

Bonus – Top 20 Songs From 1986 Playlist

snowinsouthtown@gmail.com (Snow in Southtown Podcast) — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 02:07:37 +0000

Last month we shared 10 songs that were featured on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart in January 1986. Now we’re sharing our personal Top 10 songs from 1986. These tracks alternate between Rusty and Mike, counting down from 10 to 1, with a few other sound clips from 1986 mixed in along the way.

Notes:

We tried not to double up bands, but with Run-DMC and Book of Love, it couldn’t be avoided. Sorry for hitting you with three Book of Love tracks in the past few months (including our 2025 Thanksgiving playlist).
Shout out to Patreon supporter Kent for randomly sending me the Green “Gotta Getta Record Out” 7-inch in the mail one day a few years ago. Neither of us had heard that one, and it went right into my rotation after hearing it.

If you’d prefer this mix as a YouTube playlist, here’s a link:

Bonus – Halloween 2024 – Ghost Stories With Granny

snowinsouthtown@gmail.com (Snow in Southtown Podcast) — Sat, 02 Nov 2024 20:18:19 +0000

Sorry for the delay on this feed. Please read ahead for info!

Happy Halloween! Mike’s Granny makes her Snow in Southtown debut to chat about ghost stories, demons, horror movies, and other spooky stuff. Thanks to everyone who has been checking out the Halloween content on the podcast and blog over the last two months. We’ll be starting our Christmas episodes next week!

Note: Throughout this year, we have been experiencing outages with the Internet Archive, which is where we’ve been hosting our podcast files for years. Therefore, we are re-opening our Patreon, where you can sign up for free and access all of our main episodes at no charge. The downside right now is that you can’t create a podcast RSS feed with the free membership; however, you can always stream our episodes through the Patreon app itself. We do have two new membership levels available for those who would like to support the show, receive bonus content (like our print zines and our music), and have an RSS feed to use in your podcast app. But a paid membership is not at all necessary to access our main podcast episodes.

If you haven’t signed up yet, you can do so here.

Halloween 2024 – Texas Chain Saw Massacre

snowinsouthtown@gmail.com (Snow in Southtown Podcast) — Tue, 08 Oct 2024 17:10:59 +0000

We’re celebrating ’70s horror with one of the best, Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). We also discuss what we’ve been watching as Halloween approaches, and we read some of the reviews for Hooper’s, a restaurant that occupies the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre house.

Note: We apologize for the occasional audio issues, a result of a recent internet fiber “upgrade.” We’ll do our best to improve this situation before Christmas episodes begin.

We’re back for our fifth season, and we start by revisiting Scrooged (1988), a film neither of us has really enjoyed in the past. Will we change our minds this time?

Next we discuss Bing Crosby’s “Jingle Bells,” followed by “Hang an Ornament” by Grandaddy and Band of Horses.

Finally, we discuss some Christmas episodes of the Hit Parade Podcast.

Sorry for the weird random static sounds that pop up a few times near the beginning. It may have been because of the football game I was watching. I think it has something to do with my cell phone, but it is never consistent enough to find the problem. I’ll keep trying!

Halloween Tapes: The Old Gray Goose

snowinsouthtown@gmail.com (Snow in Southtown Podcast) — Mon, 04 Oct 2021 23:06:18 +0000

It’s now October, and that means our Christmas podcast will return in about a month! But first, here’s a Halloween treat.

Growing up, I’d spend a lot of time each Halloween season at Kmart, and I always bought whatever Halloween cassettes they had for sale. Most were terrible, aside from a few classics that still remain on my shelf. But this episode features one of my favorites, The Old Gray Goose.

This tape was released in 1999. It features a guy (the Gray Goose) who tells stories and sings songs. Most of the stories were familiar tales that we’d been telling each other for years, but I hadn’t heard a few of these. Overall, it’s just a really cool collection and is something I still listen to every year.

A few years ago, I hooked up a cassette player to my computer to create these files; however, it seems this was also released on CD, so I really should just track that down. This cassette rip is pretty rough. Still, the times I’ve checked, it hasn’t been the easiest thing to find online, so I figured it’d make a cool podcast post, even with the tape noise.

I didn’t record an intro or anything. I figured people may want to play this with family or at a party, and you don’t need my voice on here messing it up. So it’s simply the two sides of the tape. Here’s the track list:

1 Goose Introduction
2 Shipwreck
3 Medical College
4 Oscar, The Lightheaded Pumpkin
5 The Graveyard
6 The Hike
7 The Passing Of David Holt
8 Ride Of Terror
9 The Butcher
10 Emily’s Nightmare
11 39 Steps & The Blue Room
12 Mystery Church
13 Graveyard Song
14 Goose Farewell
