Guests Mary Lattimore and Whitmer Thomas join Joe Pera for a Christmas-themed episode. They discuss childhood Christmas memories, reflect on the symbolism of Christmas trees, and share their love for the holiday season. They also delve into the story of 'The Fir Tree' by Hans Christian Andersen and discuss the connection between the author and Charles Dickens' family.

This week, we talk to harpist Mary Lattimore. Mary is known for her earthy, experimental music and has collaborated with musicians like Kurt Vile and Kesha. As she releases her new album, Goodbye, Hotel Arkada, she tells guest host Lulu Smyth about what it's like to compose and perform in a whole new way on the 47-string instrument.-------We love hearing from you.
