The Best Boys: A Christmas Spectacular!

Snow is falling, the streets are illuminated and the tantalizing scents of the 11 herbs and spices are wafting through the air, that can only mean one thing: It’s time for a Christmas episode! Best Boys Dan & Justin have a lot of yuletide joy in store for the Best Buds today, covering everything from where the heck “padoru” comes from to how to have a Japanese-style Christmas dinner! You’ll of course get a heaping helping of anime news and even a bonus explainer on the ins and outs of wearing kimono. It wouldn’t be Christmas without a surprise visit from Santa-kun either, so make sure you tune in for The Best Boys Christmas Spectacular!

Attention, Best Buds! We want to hear from you! The Best Boys is about to enter its second season, so we’re conducting a listener survey.
