Event Recap Chat with Sleigh Bells & Mistletoe Christmas Podcast

[Jeff Westover]

Oh yeah, Nativities are another one of those niche-within-the-niche things

 

[SBellsRikki]

Not at first Jeff... but now that we're getting noticed, numbers are going up on early shows b/c ppl are going back to listen.

 

[Jeff Westover]

That's the depth that is Christmas

 

[Jordan Rivers]

Ok, I have a question

 

[Jeff Westover]

Go ahead you Dodger loving freak of nature

 

[SBellsRikki]

Dont get me wrong - we have our "fluff" pieces too - you can't always have dinner and NOT serve dessert!

 

[SBellsRikki]

OK, Jordan...

 

[Jordan Rivers]

Before you did this, did you and Mary gravitate to any particular kind of Christmas podcast yourselves?

 

[SBellsRikki]

Oh, Jordan... May I have the floor for a few lines, plz?

 

[SBellsRikki]

short answer - no.

 

[Jordan Rivers]

By all means

 

[SBellsRikki]

In fact, Mary has been floored at my extensive xmas ideas.

 

[SBellsRikki]

At first for SBMX...

 

[SBellsRikki]

I wrote out a plan... much like a business plan.. for an entire year's worth of shows, topics, guests, schedule, etc.

 

[SBellsRikki]

But I kept waiting for the right partner... & waiting... & waiting.

 

[SBellsRikki]

So the idea was already in place. I'm a traffic reporter at my radio station, but most don't know my creative background in writing, producing, voicing - not that podcasting requires that.

 

[Jeff Westover]

It most certainly does require that!

 

[SBellsRikki]

then, thru another xmas online podcaster, Mary picked up on a tweet that he & I posted & responded to each other.

 

[SBellsRikki]

Then, there she was... all along. That's when I found out she was a Xmas heartie!
