Listmas History

Jason Jefferies invented the concept of Listmas. Mike Wray came up with the name. John Zittle hosted the first Listmas day. Jason, Mike and John were the panel for Listmas I and Listmas II.

Reggie Worth joined for Listmas III. Jason, Mike, John and Reggie were the panel for Listmas III, IV and V. John Zittle did not submit a list for Listmas VI, and as such, the panel was Jason, Mike and Reggie. After attending for several years, Mark Beddingfield joined as a panelist for Listmas VII. Mark joined Jason, Mike, John and Reggie as the panel for Listmas VII and Listmas VIII. Zach Hall joined the panel for Listmas IX, bringing the panel to Zach, Jason, Mike, John, Reggie and Mark for Listmas IX and Listmas X.

During the season leading up to Listmas X, Jason and Reggie started The Listmas Podcast, which covers the new album releases every week and features interviews with musicians and music journalists.
