🎄 It’s 1979, by way of 1933 — or the other way around — and the human from Fraggle Rock has broken into my garage with a haunted choir of singing children.  

Join us as we turn the dial on our haunted time-traveling radio to find Henry Winkler at the height of his fame as the Fonz hiding under multiple layers of makeup as a Scrooge figure in Great Depression-era New England.

🎄 After spending 3 months locked in a water tower, the Advent Calendar House has escaped in time for Christmas Podcast Day, a fake holiday originally made up for a hashtag back when social media was slightly less stupid.  

It’s not Scrooge Sunday, but the theme for this year’s Christmas Podcast Day is “A Christmas Carol,” so I’m playing a long, but also cheating a little by covering both segments of a 1993 Christmas episode of “Animaniacs.”  

You can follow #ChristmasPodcastDay on Facebook, Instagram, and that other one. And probably TikTok, but I’m not on that.

Rob Paulsen is one of Hollywood’s busiest, most talented, and most passionate performers who specializes in the art of voice acting, a career that has earned him a Daytime Emmy, three Annie Awards, and a Peabody. He is the voice of Pinky from “Pinky and the Brain”, Yakko from “Animaniacs”, Raphael from "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", just to name a few. His accolades and “sunny disposition” stand in stark defiance to the battles he has waged and triumphed over. From a crushing bout of depression at 54 years old to the diagnosis of stage 3 metastatic throat cancer, Rob remains one of the nicest human beings to ever stand in front of a microphone. Rob is now cancer-free and back doing what he loves, with a deep appreciation of what he almost lost and tirelessly using his gifts in service to those that need it the most.

Rob Paulsen is the voice of Pinky from “Pinky and the Brain,” Yakko from “Animaniacs,” Raphael (and Donatello) from “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and Carl Wheezer from “Jimmy Neutron.”  He has an Emmy, Annie and Peabody Award. Rob will reprise his original role in the “Animaniacs” reboot  on Hulu this fall/winter. Rob has huge social media numbers. His new memoir Voice Lessons was released late last year by Viva Editions, an imprint of Start Publishing. Ironically a man who uses his voice for work found himself with throat cancer (now recovered.) He is this year’s  2020 Spokesperson for The HNCA’s (Head and Neck Cancer Alliance) Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Program.

A graduate of MIT and Stanford, Ruiz Virk is a successful entrepreneur, angel investor, bestselling author and video game industry pioneer. His video games have included Tap Fish, which has been downloaded over 50 million times. Budding entrepreneurs face a challenging road. The path is not made any easier by all the clichés they hear about how to make a startup succeed―from platitudes and conventional wisdom to downright contradictions. 

Kyle brings his charismatic friend Matthew on an animated cross-country tour, led by Goofy and his son Max! And they didn't even need any LSD! Feel free to tag along and listen to them break down the inner psychological workings of Goofy Goof and Max Goof in this angsty 1995 Disney Feature Film that has amassed a cult following! JOINT THE CULT OF GOOF!

Featuring Matthew Denaro from Brew Roots Podcast!
