56: Feeling

Two holiday vignettes make up this week’s episode:

First, Brett peels back the veneer of the joyful and festive holiday season, to acknowledge that sometimes … Christmas sucks. But, what if that’s actually be a good thing? If you are feeling a bit blue this Christmas, or know someone who is, then this segment is for you.

Then, Nick chimes in with a story about silence.

Plus a special opening segment, with greetings from Brett & Nick and some holiday themed WTSdigs.
