"Shop It Around" -- Radio Show #125 (S7, E22)

This week we played some of our favorite records from 2024. We also got in the holiday spirit and spent a lot of money, and finished with some songs that mention Christmas, but aren't necessarily Christmas songs. If you missed all the fun, the podcast is available in most places where podcasts reside. This handy link will point the way — https://linktr.ee/beatsurrender
