7 - The Real Queen of Christmas ft. Collin Souter and Kerry Finegan of Christmas Movies Actually

On a very special Christmas episode of Uptown Song Club, a podcast about songs, host Patrick Ripoll is joined by Collin Souter and Kerry Finegan, hosts of the Christmas movie podcast Christmas Movies Actually to talk about Christmas (Baby Please Come Home by Darlene Love, I Don't Intend To Spend Christmas Without You by Claudine Longet and Where Did My Snowman Go? by Patti Page. They also talk about Christmas covers that changed the meaning of the original, non-Christmas songs that deserve a place on holiday radio, and settle once and for all a question of yuletime throne dispute: Who is the real queen of Christmas?
