Thor: Ragnarok came out last weekend, and so this week The Nose celebrates with an old-fashioned, star-studded holiday special.

There will be the singing of Ragnarök carols, there will be the imbibing of Ragnarök punch, there will be the exchanging of Ragnarök gifts.

...Or something.

GUESTS:

  • Rebecca Castellani - Entertainment director at Bridge Street Live in Canton, Conn.
  • Jim Chapdelaine - An Emmy Award-winning musician, producer, composer, and recording engineer, and a patient advocate for people with rare cancers
  • Hans Felsendinger - A German, I guess, expert on Norse mythology... or something...
  • Elizabeth Keifer - Professor of English at Tunxis Community College
  • Carolyn Paine - An actress, comedian, and dancer: founder, director, and choreographer of CONNetic Dance

Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

Colin McEnroe, Betsy Kaplan, Kevin MacDermott, Catie Talarski, and Chion Wolf contributed to this show.
