Merry Mixtapes: Jeff - Lost Christmas Podcast
Today we are celebrating Thanksgiving here in the States. For me that means a healthy portion of turkey, along with a healthy side of nostalgia.
And while I’m fumbling around the kitchen, pre-dawn to begin prepping this year’s meal, I’m thinking about my holidays past. Friends, family, the smells of the kitchen, the sounds of relatives catching up, watching the parade with my brothers and being more excited for the toy commercials than the floats and performers.
Sticking with that theme, I’m excited to introduce our Thanksgiving Day episode and the next in our Merry Mixtapes series - a conversation with Jeff Loftin, host of the Lost Christmas podcast.
Jeff brings us a mixtape full of personally nostalgic Christmas favorites. And in our conversation, we run the gammut from Christmas classics of childhood, to country music stars to post-hardcore bands and the Warped Tour.
If you are new here, you can check out the Episode 10 of the ‘Tis the Soundtrack podcast or the Merry Mixtapes Introduction post.
And a big “Thank you” to Jeff for sharing his mixtape full of nostalgia.
