Special: Christmas 2021

Published: Dec. 24, 2021, 10:30 p.m.

In keeping with the season we thought it would be fun to give something to you our viewers. We can't give you much as a channel, so we decided that we could maybe share some of the books, movies, and music that we enjoy. We hope you find something here that you may not have thought of or encountered yet.\n\nQUOTE: "I read to my kid, but I can't stand reading" - Adam Sandler\n\n#FrivolousGravitas Links: \nChannel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb3cCrFqaHFBp2s7jgtJvFg \nFB: https://www.facebook.com/Frivolous-Gravitas-Podcast-109356198202987/ \nTwitter: https://twitter.com/FrivolousGravi1 \nRSS: https://krisdriver.com/feed/rssfeed.xml \n\nIf you like this kind of content and want to see more, be sure to like, share and subscribe to help keep this channel going.\n\nUse RSS url to subscribe to Frivolous Gravitas using your favourite podcast player to catch up on past episodes and listen any time you want.
