It's eight days until Christmas and James is fretting about everything! Lemax Christmas villages, cologne detectives, racism in Canada, hyper-focus, the state of the world... you name it!

But there are joys to be found in the form of Rothesay Ballet's The Nutcracker, the Saint John Youth Orchestra's Christmas concert, Jeremy King's autobiography Without Reservation, the rediscovery of Viz magazine, The Polar Express in 3D, Man Vs Baby and the new inspiring Taylor Swift documentary. He also asks the question: is Jay Kelly a masterpiece or self-indulgent garbage? And he answers your questions about English traditions, embracing winter, the best things to do on a river and so much more!

He also reveals what's in the latest volume of [EDIT] magazine including the incredible story of Vicki Hogarth who saved a much loved local newspaper from extinction and the earth saving work of Joel MacPherson, as profiled by the great Thandiwe McCarthy.

All of this plus a few hundred tangents...

Episode 75 finds James back home in New Brunswick from British Columbia, greeted by a dramatic snowfall. He visits Atlantic Indian Bistro for butter chicken curry made by the Butter Chicken Guy and watches Danny Dyer and Kiefer Sutherland’s Christmas movie Tinsel Town. From security lines that feel like battlefield hospitals to planes that now function as airborne petri dishes, James takes aim at vaping, travel paranoia, passport photos, and the strange new soundtrack of air travel. The episode also weaves in life on tour in Oliver, Lake Country, Summerland and Kamloops, BC with some fantastically, uniquely Canadian encounters involving doctors and “disappointed” audiences.

He spends Sunday putting up decorations and watching Only Fools and Horses, Bottom, and Garfield’s Christmas movie with his brother in Vernon, BC, after handing out Ganong treats at Bulk Barn in Vernon all morning. Honest reflections follow on the concept of selling out, changing values, misunderstandings and why Alan Davies’ book White Male Stand Up is one of the best books about comedy and trauma ever written. All of this plus Martin Scorsese’s life, films, faith, illness, family, and endurance, with side trips through After Hours, Goodfellas, The Irishman, De Niro, Leo, and the power of music in cinema.
