Every Rom Com 52: White Christmas
Episode description
Just in time for Christmas, Every Rom Com has paired up with Poppy from Confessions of a Closet Romantic to bring you one of the most beloved Christmas classics of all-time, “White Christmas.” In addition to a fair amount of gushing over costumes, music, and romance, we’ll also give you an historical overview of the song “White Christmas”, its connection to World War 2, and its writer Irving Berlin. We wrap the whole thing up with double feature recommendations, including some black and white classics you may want to discover this holiday season!
0:00-15:03 Introducing Poppy from Confessions of A Closet Romantic
Poppy is the writer/host of the Confessions of a Closet Romantic podcast. For a hot minute, once upon a time, she was a musical-comedy actress, a nanny and a chef. She’s done book marketing for a large publishing house, and reviewed books, written features for a newspaper, assisted on film sets, and did publicity and author programming for a large library system.
Now she produces her podcast full-time, watches classic movies obsessively (ask her about Cary Grant!) and creates all sorts of things out of paper.
