As the year comes to a close, so does Podcast Ping. This is the final episode of Podcast Ping, although it's not the end of the feed. I will eventually have some new things posted here, but I explain more in the podcast. http://www.archive.org/download/PodcastPingsWrapUpShow/PPWrapUp.mp3 Podcast Pin...

Day 25. Christmas Day! http://www.archive.org/download/PodcastPingsChristmasCalendarDay25/ppcc25.mp3 For this show I have something special. Some people might find the song I chose, “Rainbow Christmas” to have a little too much “rainbow” in it. But it's the sort of song that makes for a big...

Day 24. Christmas Eve. Just one more sleep until Christmas--unless you're Santa Claus. http://www.archive.org/download/PodcastPingsChristmasCalendarDay24/ppcc24.mp3 Christmas Eve is often a quiet time around our house. Most of the real celebrating--and noise--comes on Christmas. And with Christmas f...

Day 23. http://www.archive.org/download/PodcastPingsChristmasCalendarDay23/ppcc23.mp3 Another song about toys. Although "The Wonderful World of Toys" wasn't really a Christmas song even though it did talk about toys. But most Christmas songs tend to be more about snow and socializing than the part m...

Day 22. http://www.archive.org/download/PodcastPingsChristmasCalendarDay22/ppcc22.mp3 No matter how busy one is, someone else always seems to find more work for one to do. I'm not in too bad a shape. I've still got a couple gifts to make, but those don't have to be done until after Christmas. The on...

Day 20. Already. The Three Wise Men arrive. http://www.archive.org/download/PodcastPingsChristmasCalendarDay20/ppcc20.mp3 I've got a few modern renditions of classic carols throughout the calendar. It's interesting to hear how something with which everyone is very familiar can be made to sound new a...

Day 19. http://www.archive.org/download/PodcastPingsChristmasCalendarDay19/ppcc19.mp3 The song for this episode, "The Wonderful World of Toys," is one that I was mildly interested in the first time listening to but have grown to really like with repeated listenings. Most podcasts that play music wil...

Day 18. One more week until Christmas. http://www.archive.org/download/PodcastPingsChristmasCalendarDay18/ppcc18.mp3 Now things get busy. I expect the stores will be really busy this weekend.

Day 17. A week from now it will be Christmas Eve. Or Christmas Eve day. Or the morning of the day of Christmas Eve. Or somewhere in the general vicinity. http://www.archive.org/download/PodcastPingsChristmasCalendarDay17/ppcc17.mp3 It was two years ago today that I did Bonus 9-A Visit From St. Nicho...

Day 16. Less than ten days left until Christmas. And after today, all but one song is new. http://www.archive.org/download/PodcastPingsChristmasCalendarDay16/ppcc16.mp3 I see from the calendar that today (December 16th) is a new moon and New Year's will be a full moon. That should make for a fun nig...
