Last week’s Holiday Party show was really fun! Maximum merriment! Hope you were able to join us ~ 🎅🧑‍🎄

Below are the Christmas songs we played during the first hour. You won’t hear any of these in any department stores.

We’ll be back on NEW YEAR’S DAY! January 1st 2026 - 11am Los Angeles time.

And in 2026, we’ll feature a new segment called TAPES! If you’ve been with us this year, you’ll remember us talking about getting a cassette tape player. Well, Santa Claus came by for a stout this week and dropped one off for us!
We’ve unearthed a treasure trove of cassette tapes that we’ve collected all through the 1990’s and into the early 2000’s. Join us as we push play on the new Bat Cassette Player and hear some of these original cassette recordings!
And of course new music from around the globe and the best in classics!
Thank you for the wonderful year of tuning in to our wacky little program and we wish you all the best for the holidays!
Cheers!
