It’s Christmas — Let’s Dance! 🎄💃 | Karel Cast It’s Christmas — Let’s Dance! 🎄💃 | Karel Cast No politics. No heavy headlines. No big debates. It’s Christmas Day — a day for joy, memories, music, and movement. And today on The Karel Cast, we’re doing exactly that: dancing through decades of stories, songs, and survival. I’ve been making music professionally since the late 1980s, and on this special Christmas episode, I’m sharing the stories behind the songs — and playing some of the music videos I’ve created over the years, including: 🎶 “Everybody Get On Up” — big hair, fake music, real dancing, and one unforgettable outfit straight from the hood. 🎶 My first “big” record with Jellybean Benitez — how we met, where it was recorded, and why we ended up in the desert… in a trailer… with 200 pieces of fried chicken. 🎶 “Don’t Stop” — my first Sylvester cover, featuring Thea Austin and Jeanie Tracy (who sang on the original), plus incredible studio stories. 🎶 “Stronger Together” — written after Michelle Obama’s “when they go low…” moment, and how Daniel, Thea, Morgan, and I came together in my TuffStudio. 🎶 “Married Men” — why that song had to be written. 🎶 “We’re Not Going Back” — an anthem that hit Top 4 in the UK. 🎶 “Do You Wanna Funk” — another Sylvester classic with a very unique backstory. This episode is about music as memory, movement as survival, and dancing because we’re still here. It’s Christmas. Let’s dance. 🕺✨ The Karel Cast is supported by your donations at patreon.com/reallykarel. Please watch, like, and subscribe at youtube.com/reallykarel.

The True Meaning of Christmas (It’s Not What You Think) | Karel Cast The True Meaning of Christmas (It’s Not What You Think) | Karel Cast Every year we decorate the tree, exchange gifts, sing the songs, and gather with loved ones — but do we ever stop to ask why we do any of it? On this Christmas Eve episode of The Karel Cast, we take a deeper look at the true meaning of Christmas: where the traditions came from, what they were meant to symbolize, and how the holiday has evolved into what it is today. We’ll also talk honestly about why Christmas can feel magical for some — and painfully lonely or depressing for others. From nostalgia and loss to hope and connection, this is a reflective, thoughtful conversation about what this night really represents in our modern world. Whether Christmas fills you with joy, sadness, or a mix of both, this episode is for you. The Karel Cast is supported by your donations at patreon.com/reallykarel.

I love hearing what you think: what you like, what you don't like. Especially this season, as I'm taking some creative chances.

I make this show for you, and I don't know what's working unless you tell me. 🙏

You may not know the name Reginald Aubrey Fessenden, but you know his work!

He was an inventor with hundreds of patents. And one of his innovations was introduced in 1906 and changed Christmas forever.

Farmhouse Kitchen (1978)/Bullseye Christmas Celebrity Special (1987) | The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour Well the halls are decked, the porches have been lamped and the back passage is well and truly stuffed, which can mean only one thing: it's time once again for The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour Christmas Special! Yuletide is a time for extravagance of course, when year-end budgets are well and truly blown in the name of celebration and merriment. So naturally, our hosts have found two exceptions.First up on the roster is a look at what we're all going to be eating on the big day, as Dorothy Sleightholme and Stella Boldy show us round Yorkshire Television's innuendo-laden Farmhouse Kitchen, then it's round to Jim Bowen's for a game of the old arrers with some big names in 1987's Bullseye Christmas Celebrity Special. And if a tea-urn full of warm lager isn't quite your thing, some salted almonds are sure to help the drinks go round...How contained is Bowen's umbrage at having to actually learn lines for a fully scripted show? How restrained is Sleightholme's fury at having to share her studio with a co-presenter? And how ingrained is the urge of three podcast hosts to scour online marketplaces for every single piece of vintage tie-in merchandise that was ever flogged on-screen?Press the Play button before someone at Central Television realises nobody is keeping a score, and find out...The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour is a free podcast from iPorle Media, which holds production copyright.
