The High Orbit Holiday Special
Matthew's Christmas album featuring space sharks and robots.
$9.99 — $11.49
Christmas is a time to get closer to the ones we love: friends, family, robots, and space sharks. For the space-faring Captain Ebel, this Christmas is like any other day- struggling to keep his stomach and spaceship full of fuel. That is, until a 200-foot-long space shark named Mr. Bruce hires his crew to ship some goods from a distant planet. Everything seems to be going well until Captain Ebel discovers what’s inside the crates.
The High Orbit Holiday Special is a full episode of Matthew’s not-quite-dead-yet podcast, High Orbit, complete with 5 new recordings of classic Christmas favorites and brand new original music. Yes, even robot first officer Prodo-1 sings! All 5 songs are included as part of the show and as uninterrupted, talk-free singles.

I’m at a loss of words. It was for your witty writing that I listened through all the old High Orbit episodes, and you delivered more of that here than one could shake a tractor beam at, plus some wonderful, wonderful music. Would you believe it was this, of all things, that finally woke up my holiday spirit this year?— , Matthew Ebel dot net
