Hello everybody it's Henry Gilbert recorded December 17th 2019 and that is a very special day because it's the 30th anniversary of the premiere of the

the Simpsons Christmas Special aka Simpsons roasting on an open fire.

This is quite an important day in Simpson's history.

So of course we're going to do some cool stuff with it.

You're going to see a really cool podcast go up tonight on the Patreon feed, and then a week later on the free feed and a really

cool poll that's going to be open to the public that I want all you guys to vote in. But first, we're

starting out with a blast from our past, a podcast recorded a couple years ago,

with Mimi Pond, the writer of this episode.

She is a very accomplished comic artist and television writer who is the

creditor writer of this major episode of television history, but it's not all smiles and sunshine with this story unfortunately,

but I think it's important to hear Mimi's side of the story too when we're celebrating

this amazing anniversary of The Simpson.

So, previously only available to our Patreon supporters.

We're opening it up to you guys on the free and Patreon feed again today,

so you can hear it and hear the story in her own words. And of course

subscribe at patreon.com slash talking Simpsons if you want to hear another really

cool anniversary podcast,

going live very soon a week ahead of time and ad free there.

But for now, let's go back in time

a couple of years to our interview with Mimi Pond.

The fourth grade will now favour us with a melody

medley of holiday favorites. Now, sing through the snow,
