A Christmas buffet: The best of The Snack

Ho ho ho, it's that time of year - and what a dumpster fire of a year it's been. To celebrate making it through 2020 and to serve you some Christmas cheer, here is a cheeky little compilation of what we deem to be the best bits of the podcast ever. Is this the most narcissistic ep yet? Absolutely. But pour yourself an eggnog (what is eggnog anyway?), kick back with a whole pavlova and enjoy this trip down memory lane.
