Christmas Special (Dec.15/25)
The River Valley Podcast leans into the holiday chaos this episode as Bonnie and Dan embrace the Christmas season with festive banter, unfinished shopping confessions, and a dose of seasonal silliness. Things get especially merry and mildly unhinged when Bonnie sits down with Twizzle Fizzlenut, a thoroughly stressed-out elf who gives an inside look at the barely controlled mayhem inside Santa’s workshop.
Between the holiday fun, the episode delivers important local content. Dan takes the lead on a detailed report from the Town Development Committee meeting, walking listeners through discussions on housing projects, parking concerns, and public feedback. It’s a clear, straightforward rundown designed to keep the community informed without putting anyone into a nap.
The episode also features a Past, Present, and Proud segment honoring Dr. Norman William Anderson, a pioneering doctor whose work was vital to Lumsden’s early years. Community events get their moment as well. Plus, from "The Files Of Did You Know" the Christmas Bird Count.
The show wraps up with a special Lumsden-themed version of The Night Before Christmas and a reflection on the podcast’s first full year, marking the growth, the support, and the fact that this small-town show is still going strong.
Festive, local, and proudly Lumsden.
