‘Twas the night before Christmas / And throughout City Hall,

Not a mayor was stirring / Nor a council near-brawl.

Public commenters were nestled / All snug in their beds,

While concocting some brand new complaints / In their heads.

When on people’s phones / There arose a loud clatter.

They opened up iTunes / To see what was the matter.

With a square yellow icon / People gave a small nod past,

For they knew what it was: / A brand new podcast.
