Happy Christmas Podcast Day!

We're celebrating Christmas Podcast Day and the end of Daylight Saving Time by turning back the clocks and revisiting a past episode.

We're taking another look at The Christmas Gig: Two Thousand Ten, the album of original Christmas music that accompanied Target's 2010 holiday advertising campaign.

In this episode, I talk about a couple of holiday songs that *might* have started as unused tracks from The Christmas Gig. Jim at Christmas Underground shares his continued hunt for a copy of the physical promo album. And Alex, who worked at Target around the time of The Christmas Gig, gives us all an early Christmas present: one of the Christmas commercials from the campaign that we thought was lost forever!

Thank you Jim and Alex for both sharing your stories!
