The Banned Christmas Special

In this final episode of season 1, Greg and Martin spent 30 of your precious minutes examining this big budget special and revealing how great talent can be wasted at the hands of corporate oversight. As a teaser, you'll see: A vegetarian hawk (or, is he?); A mole, happy to hoard the last bit of food in the forest; woodsmen who consider the Xmas tree to be lowest form of a tree's use; parents who allow their seemingly invalid daughter to go missing in sub-freezing temperatures; finally, a tiny tree that has a mouth, yet is unable to speak. All wrapped around a Bill Cosby commercial that shows both his and the Bell System's disdain for children.

This special involves the nearly wasted talents of: Charlie Couch, Fritz Freling, Roberta Flack (edited out to prevent infringement) Music by Johnny Marks, and the voice talents of Buddy Ebsen, Paul Winchell, Frank Welker and others.

"Greg finds things at estate sales that no one else seems to notice as valuable." -This could be said of any collector, Greg just happens to have a passion for anything he's never seen.

This podcast, available through YouTube and Apple Podcasts is hosted by Greg Van Antwerp and Martin Blanco. Their goal is to encourage people to get searching for hidden history, preserve the past, while educating others how to find these missing gems before they are gone forever.

Greg provides live multi-media performances customized to a variety of topics on history and education in a light-hearted look at the things we collect and the things that were almost lost forever.
