IODA, the Independent Online Distribution Alliance, has a nice mix of new independent holiday music on the latest episode of its IODA Promonet Podcast.

IODA is a digital distributor of independent music of every genre, from thousands of different record labels, and promotes that music to retailers, distributors, bloggers, and podcasters through its Promonet service. Its monthly-ish podcast features a cross-section of the broad IODA catalog. Sometimes the podcast is a shuffled mix of styles and genres, and sometimes the podcast is topical (like this winter holiday one, the Halloween one, or even the Talk Like A Pirate Day episode).

The current holiday issue ranges widely, from “The Nutcracker” to jazz standards to the excellent gospel choir Sounds of Blackness (whose first Christmas album was fantastic).
