Not sure how this show gets to call themselves a \u201ctechnology podcast,\u201d but I decided to review it anyway, because for many in the world, December is all about Christmas\u2026 and Christmas means music, food, decorations, family gatherings, and doing things looped under the \u201ctradition\u201d blanket that we often have no clue as to where they started or why we do them.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span>Enter host Craig Kringle and his seasonal\u00a0<\/span>Weird Christmas Podcast<\/span><\/i>.

With episode topics ranging from \u201cChristmas Pickles\u201d to \u201cHave yourself a Movie Little Christmas\u201d and \u201cWeird Christmas Food,\u201d you\u2019ll find weird holiday-related facts and stories to explain traditions you might question and wonder why on Earth they ever got started to begin with.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span>Episode length is all over the place, ranging from seven minutes to almost two hours, which makes it hard to plan for a listen.
