What To Do With the Leftover Turkey

I know, I know... you haven't even made your actual Christmas lunch as yet, but I thought I would share some ideas with you for what to do with your leftover turkey ahead of time, courtesy of Dinner Party Download.

This particular episode is straight after Thanksgiving day, but as the same applies for all the Christmas turkey leftovers, I thought it may be a worthy listen whilst preparing all your yummy food. In addition to leftover chat, there's the usual topical offerings and alternative news from presenters Rico and Brendan, so when the banter runs out at your table tomorrow you'll be well prepared with humorous conversation starters.

Alright, get your aprons on, start prepping and switch on the radio!... or laptop, or iPod, or Squeezebox...

So, it's finally Christmas week and with all the snow around my part of the world, it does feel very christmas-ey indeed!

Rather than drive yourselves mad amidst the shopping chaos, why not forget all that, put the fire on and listen to Adam Maxwell's festive short story audio: 'The Curious Story of the Hypnotists Christmas Tree'. Read by the author himself, complete with silly voices and expression this is a great story to unwind to in the evening.

Adam Maxwell's website has a selection of his work available as audio to listen to for free. Many of the stories are of a surreal nature with references to popular culture and humorous undertones. His audio stories are of a really good quality and his readings are both clear and compelling.

As Christmas approaches and most of the population goes festively crazy, for those of you who are above all that have a listen to 'We don't need God, we've got biscuits', a reading from 'The Athiests Guide to Christmas'.

A short reading, at under 4 minutes, this little gem from the Guardian made me chuckle.
