A group of independant musicians has released this collaborative Christmas anthem. All proceeds from the sale of the song, which is available online at www.podsafeforpeace.org will go directly to UNICEF. To get the song, go to www.podsafeforpeace.org. To HEAR the song, download the episode here.Merry Christmas Everyone!Theme Music: Bay Bridge by Sympatico
