Welcome back to the second of this year's holiday episodes.
This episode, we bring the sugary goodness of our more poppier Christmas tunes (and one folky Solstice tune).
Though this is definitely poppier than last week's, it's not really pop. We have everything from an orchestra doing jazz to blues to folk to electronic dance music to ska.
So eat some corn with your holiday music and listen to these Iowan artist show the spirit of the season!
