The holidays, for the most part, have already come and gone — but hey, Playback is about living in the past anyway! Perhaps appropriate for after Christmas, this month's podcast features a very special burned out Santa. Plus more on the origins of the bubbles in the champagne (or other sparkling wine) you're about to quaff, UN ambassador Bono, and a serious public health problem in Bhopal, India.
Quit hesitatin' and press play already!
