This is it. We are running out of time to reach our goal of 2024 donors before the end of the year. The money that you donate, the funds you're able to share, are crucial to keeping our network running and ensuring that you get to listen to Normal Gossip and all of the other fantastic shows on Radiotopia. I got to spend an evening recently with Nate DiMaio, the host of The Memory Palace, which is a beautiful show that is also part of Radiotopia. He was in my city promoting his new book, also called The Memory Palace, and he started talking about Radiotopia.
It was the 90s and the late 90s, and we were concerned. And it turns out, for good reason, we're not selling out. I'm a member of Radiotopia, in part, because it's a collective of independent artists. And I learned in 1996 that that was the way to be. And to find a place that does that has been amazing.
I felt so proud to be a colleague of his and to be part of this collective that literally puts its money where its mouth is when it comes to supporting independent creators. I understand there is so much going on in the world right now. It's a tough time for independent media and podcasts, for people who want to have control over their intellectual property, over their business decisions, and over their creative projects. Radiotopia is a place where that's possible, but only with your help. This community of incredible creators wouldn't exist without listeners like you. Every dollar counts, and it really all adds up, so whatever you're able to give will make a huge difference. As a token of our gratitude, when you donate today, you'll also get access to the list of our favorite things curated by us and all of the producers in the network. I included something that I truly cannot live without. So head on over to radiotopia.fm slash donate to donate today.
Thank you so much.
Hi, Rachel Hampton here. If you missed last week's episode of Normal Gossip, please go back and listen because, spoiler alert, I have been crowned America's Next Top Gossip Queen. I wanted to say a very, very heartfelt thank you to all the listeners who have been so generous and so excited about the next phase of this show that we all love so much. We here at the Normal Gossip Team really appreciate it. So much so that we thought maybe y'all might like to have a little holiday bonus episode as a treat. Before we get to your present, though, I just wanted to say that I am so, so, so, so, so excited to start working on season eight of Normal Gossip, which will come out this spring. But I need your help. We are looking for gossip.
You can email us at normalgossip at defector.com or you can leave us a voicemail on our hotline at 2679-GOSSIP. Some gossip that I am dying to receive, real estate gossip, gossip that is secretly a romance novel, service industry gossip, and fandom gossip, but truly anything you have that you think might be a fit, please send it over. If you have ever in your life thought, Maybe the story might work for normal gossip. Send it, please. I will work with you on anonymization. And if it turns out to be too hard to anonymize, well, I still want to read it. Okay, now for your present. As many of y'all know, we put out an extra episode for our subscribers once a month. For December's episode, we tried something just a little bit different.
I made Kelsey watch the 2015 Lifetime original movie, The Spirit of Christmas. And we just gabbed about it for an hour. As literally anyone in my life will tell you, I'm obsessed with this movie. And I think it might haunt Kelsey forever. What more could you want? Happy holidays.
Hello. I'm so excited for this episode. I'm also really excited. We have a special little holiday treat. I hope that everyone did their homework. If you haven't done your homework, the homework was to watch The Spirit of Christmas. So I guess fucking spoiler alert.
It came out in 2015. You've had a decade.
You've had a decade, but you know, it is available on Amazon Prime and Apple Plus to rent. So it's not too late to watch this and then come back. Anyway, we're going to discuss this. Rachel, how the fuck did you find this movie? Why are we here?
