BONUS: Spreading Christmas Cheer With A Story Cube Game Inspired by Paul McCartney's Classic "Wonderful Christmastime"

We’re simply having a Wonderful Christmastime at Rhapsody in Reverie! Just in time for the festive season, Adrienne and Katarina wrap up the year with their last bonus episode of 2021. Set to Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime,” our intrepid duo tell a wild tale of Christmas tree farms, big city boys, small town girls, and…speakeasies. And a main character named Paul, but not for the reason you think! Maybe it’s Christmas Magic, maybe it’s the 5 cups of coffee Katarina had before recording, but this bonus episode will turn out to be a magical experience.

But in the spirit of the chaos of these episodes, things go a little bit...spacey. Will our intrepid duo tell a cohesive tale of holiday travel, Egyptology, and romance? Will they capture the spirit of giving and gratitude? Or will they end up totally-not-ripping off a Canadian sci-fi show that definitely does not already exist? Tune in for this special episode of Rhapsody in Reverie to find out!

Happy Thanksgiving, Listeners! We’re so grateful for all of you!
