In a slightly longer than usual second hour, Katie plays some non-traditional Christmas songs and speaks to a man with talent oozing out of every orifice, Casey Bennetto. Casey and Katie talk about the annual Swingin’ Bella Xmas concert: its origins, how the band came together (including Geraldine Quinn and Mal Webb), the incredible guests who show up every year, and filming the 2020 show instead of doing it live. Here is the playlist:
- Baby Jesus Is Nobody’s Baby Now – Julia Jacklin
- Holy Night – Paul Ray and Students ft. Maya O’Loughlin
- Dreaming of a Christmas with You – The Teskey Brothers
- Get Me Something Good – Casey Bennetto & The Swingin’ Bella Xmas Band
- The Christmas Ninja – Casey Bennetto & The Swingin’ Bella Xmas Band
