The Popcast With Knox and Jamie

In this episode, we’re joined by Erin Moon as we snake draft the most underrated Christmas rage bait. We’re talking everything from bygone classics like the beloved popcorn tin, to the aggressively mediocre commercialization of ugly sweaters, to traditions that deserve a one-way ticket back to the North Pole (yes, Elf on the Shelf and matching Christmas PJs, we mean you). It’s festive, it’s feisty, and it’s the holiday catharsis you didn’t know you needed. Relevant links: Our full show notes are at knoxandjamie.com/636Have a gift-buying obstacle? We gotchu!
