Ah, Christmas. A time of friends, family and tradition - which in Looking Sideways world means the much loved Festive Special with my close pals and stalwart podcast supporters Tim and Gendle!
If you’re new here (and many thousands of you subscribed to Looking Sideways this year), I’ve known Tim Warwood and Adam Gendle, two incredibly funny and talented broadcasters, commentators, TV presenters, directors and all round media polymaths, for coming up to three decades now.
We met through the extremely tight-knit British snowboarding community, and spent a very fortunate decade snowboarding and travelling the world together.
It was a wondrous run that forged bonds to last a lifetime. So when I launched Looking Sideways back in 2017, I invited the boys on to record a freewheeling special to mark the festive season.
That episode was so well received that it soon evolved into something of a Christmas Looking Sideways tradition: all of which means that we are back once with our very own addition to the Christmas canon (even if, this year, we managed not to get blind drunk while recording this one).
Apart from that, it was the usual story - our highlights of the year, our hopes for 2025, the usual quiz (spoiler alert: I lost yet again), and a freewheeling catch up for our annual Yuletide review.
As ever, wherever you’re listening to this, grab a festive drink and a mince pie, don the Santa hat, and join us as we indulge ourselves for a couple of hours.
I’ve been fortunate enough to enjoy another brilliant Looking Sideways year, so huge thanks for listening and supporting what I do.
I’ll be back refreshed, rested and ready to go once again in 2025 - in the meantime, have a brilliant break 🎄
