Episode 15 - Optimistic Voices (2021 Holiday)
4:00pm, 12-20-2021
<< Mating Calls
Today on Mating Calls, Martha Two Shakes and The Jerk bring you a secular holiday episode meant to make you warm and fuzzy. No mention of the Baby Jesus or Santa’s sleigh here - just soulful, folky tunes to play while you make dinner or open presents. You’ll hear classics from Grateful Dead, The Beatles, Aaron Neville, and others, as well as more contemporary tunes from Broken Social Scene, Beach House, and DJ Shadow. These are nostalgic tunes for your hosts plus one from Charlie Brown’s Christmas for good measure.
