Welcome to the Hangar 49 Christmas special episode! It’s a special, and busy, time of year. Santa’s workshop, and the H49 studios have a lot going on. Just like Santa’s place, the H49 elves are busy. So, when one elf doesn’t show up for work, it makes it tough. Somehow, with only two of us, we managed to get the show on the roof…er…runway.

We understand the high cost of everything nowadays, that’s why we have cut our cost and service down to the bare minimum allowed by law. For example, in this show, we only have two hosts instead of our usual three. (OK, Tony just got back from across the pond and still has jet-lag.) But please, listen anyway. We’ll get you there….probably.
