World Cafe Playlist for 12/25/2024

Ben Folds Christmas on World Cafe

Christmas is a holiday full of traditions: you might hang the same decorations, watch the same movies, and eat the same food every year. When Ben Folds was making his new Christmas album, Sleigher, he was thinking about the way Christmas is a constant, no matter how much your life changes. He discusses the album and performs songs from it live, as we celebrate Christmas with Ben Folds on the World Cafe.

Listen to the session here.
