Jammy Actually Smiled (I Have Proof)
Forty-two minutes. One (1) documented Jammy Jingle smile. I was there, I witnessed it, I have photographic evidence on my phone that he cannot deny. This episode is dedicated to the moment, the gingerbread house that caused it, and the roughly seven seconds of stunned silence before he noticed me staring.

What It Actually Means to Be the Middle One
A deeply personal meditation on growing up sandwiched between Jammy's intimidating competence and Jimmy's relentless sunshine, with a bonus voice memo from Jonny recorded at midnight that I cried at for seven consecutive minutes and will not be apologizing for including.

Gift Wrapping Tier List (The Definitive Version)
I am a professional gift-wrapper at the North Pole Workshop and I have Opinions. Fourteen techniques ranked. Three declared morally indefensible. I'm specifically looking at you, the-gift-bag-and-tissue-paper-and-calling-it-wrapped crowd. Come sit down.

I Went to Every Holiday Market at 67°N in One Weekend
Fourteen markets. Forty-seven vendors. Six hot chocolates, four peppermint mochas, and approximately one million gingerbread samples. My feet hurt, I have feelings about pine-scented candle quality distribution, and I regret nothing.

Ranking Every Coffee Shop at 67°N
Eleven coffee shops, one day, one very caffeinated host. The Peppermint Bean wins (obviously) but the full tier list contains several surprises, at least two controversies, and my sincere apology to The Frostbite Café for what I said about their scones. I stand by the caramel latte rating though.

The Snowball Fight Incident (A Retrospective)
In late November, I challenged the north side Workshop crew to a snowball fight. I won. Sort of. It's complicated. There were eleven of them and only four of us but we had strategy and enthusiasm and Jimmy. This episode is a detailed tactical breakdown that nobody asked for.

Jonny's Playlist Review (He Didn't Ask for This)
Jonny Jingle, 17, makes the best playlists in the northern hemisphere. He did not give me permission to spend forty-four minutes analyzing them on a public podcast. He texted "...okay" when I told him this episode was live. That's maximum approval from Jonny. I'm framing it.

Gift Wrapping Tier List (Original, Revisited in Ep. 10)
The episode that started it all. My very first hot take. I still stand by my assessment of bow placement. This is the one that made Jammy text me "this is ridiculous" which meant he listened to the whole thing and I consider this my greatest achievement.

Pilot: Hi, It's Jenny, This Is a Thing I'm Doing
The very first episode. I recorded it in one take at 11pm in the Workshop break room. The audio quality is chaotic. I talk about peppermint for eleven minutes before remembering to introduce myself. It is the most genuine thing I have ever created and I refuse to rerecord it.
