In the continuing effort to be a real show, Orbital takes another go at a holiday special. This time Gap is joined by the ghosts of past, present and future, who have a lot of opinions about things.

We also ask the ghosts questions from actual humans! Thank you to @dclasair @yukisuki7 @LeslitGS @Saehel and @RefreshNinja for your suggestions on Twitter and @psitanium for being gullible enough to ask for them!

First it was Scrooge. Then it was the Grinch. Now Bill Raphus from Everything for Nothing comes to town bearing tales of riches and profit margins for the holiday season. You don't have to be at the North Pole to enjoy this very festive Big Business Basics on Orbital.

Moxie Havok returns to the show to place Thanksgiving on notice. Forget the war on Christmas, the real showdown is T-Day. The Poetry Clash is back and full of festive fervor. Also, Moxie may be having some family issues...

Albert Einstein is considered the first celebrity scientist, but he did far more than create "Elephant = master of ceremonies also" or whatever that means. We still can't explain the hair though.

Ichabod Crane has survived the Headless Horseman, but it has definitely taken it's toll on the lanky teacher of Sleepy Hollow. Especially when an unexpected guest shows up!

He's a vampire and this is an interview. You draw your own conclusions. We talk about the origins of the name Dracula, similarities with Vlad the Impaler and address common held beliefs about vampires.

Continuing our spooktacular month of shows, this week we discover how to be a famous movie slasher for the modern era with Chad! You know... Chad. The Millenial Psycho Killer from Chad's Chatroom comes by the studio to take names and selfies as we go inside the mind of a conceptual madman on Orbital.

We kick off our spooktacular month of shows with Edgar Allan Poe, a man synonymous with dark storytelling. He talks ravens and tell-tales hearts and people dying of terrible diseases. Fun, right?

Robin Hood has a story that goes back centuries. No one has apparently told him, but he's more than happy to talk about his life and livelihood with gusto on this episode of Orbital.

Mark Twain may have travelled the world, but Gap Storm has travelled the Universe, not that we're comparing. But Twain braved the Mississippi River, which Gap refuses to do, as he discusses at the front. Also, Mark Twain is very good at quoting Mark Twain.

In honor of the recent Video Games Day, we found the most readily available character from a video game series: Claptrap. This plucky robot has been hiding out on Pandora to play foil to vault hunters, but now Gap gets to sit down with him in the studio for as limited a time as possible.

Breaker of windmills, the unmounted one, the lost dragoon. Don Quixote may have many names we just made up, but we've given him a brand new one: guest. Gap talks to the man, the myth, the impossible dreamer on this episode of Orbital.
