It's the most Buddy-ful time of the year! Welcome to the 2nd Annual Solstimas episode.
Once again, we asked friends of the podcast to send us their thoughts on winter and the holidays, and to suggest a favourite seasonal song.
A huge thank you to all our guests, whose talents and kindnesses continue to warm our hearts and blow our minds.
A big shoutout to our "Music Buddy Christmas Office Party" guest, Dave Ullrich (The Inbreds, Zunior.com, Lemonade Dave, Salad Days), who dropped by in person to join in the fun, talk about the special Salad Days xmas day episode, and offer up an indie holiday gem that’s fun for the whole family.
