Players' Newsletter - December 11th, 2020
Happy Hanukkah, troops!
Insomnia struck last night so I got up at 4am and did some holiday planning -- a few more gifts, plans for a new musical interlude etc. I also ordered a Hanukkah-themed dinner for later from the great Mile End Deli over in Cobble Hill (as seen on Billions!). Smoked meat and latkes, yum. Mini-hot dogs for the Pear Bear, coleslaw etc.
I think I buried the lede: THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for the ABR podcasting award. JK and I were absolutely thrilled. We see it as a reflection of two things: 1) The overall quality of the network (award is shared with Matt, Naomi, Spencer, and Nick in our view) and 2) Your unending, buoying support.
I'll do a proper Christmas letter/network update at some point, but suffice to say for now you guys (and gals) are everything.
Content wise, there is a lot going on, including a new show we did for At The Races, previewing the Hong Kong International Races on Saturday night (speaking of insomnia. . .)
MYWAYP,
PTF
For those looking for a little holiday cheer this weekend, you can check out last year's musical interlude, which kicks off with a Hanukkah number and then gets a little weird…
And a final push for our 2020 ITM Gift Guide that was published earlier this week.
