Welcome to December 18, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate elfing around and the festival of lights. Anna: Buddy, the Elf. What's your favorite color? Marlo: Yellow, yellow, yellow! Anna: John? John: Red. No green! Anna: Did you guys know it's Answer The Telephone Like Buddy The Elf Day? John: I do now! Anna: Right, I'm getting my "elf on!" Do you know what kinda music elves like best? John: Uh, jingle music? Anna: No: wrap music! And what do you call an elf who wins the lottery? John: Uh, lucky! Anna: Wealfy! It's not bad joke day. What's the first thing elf children learn in school? The Elfabet! Feel free to get you "elf on" on Answer The Telephone Like Buddy The Elf Day. This evening kicks off Chanukah, the Jewish festival of lights. During the time of Alexander the Great, Jewish culture began to blend with Greek culture in a mostly peaceful relationship. That is until the Jewish Holy Temple was desecrated. When the Israelites rededicated the Second Temple in Jerusalem, there was only enough oil to keep the lamps lit for one night, but instead, the oil lasted for 8. Chanukah celebrates this miracle with 8 nights of observance. In the evening, families light the menorah, adding one candle each night until all 9 candles are glowing on the last day. They exchange gifts, and share foods that commemorate this event. On the first day of Chanukah, we share in the spirit of miracles and embrace the ones we love. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Welcome to December 16, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate rooting for the underdog and the tradition of poor taste. It's an accepted fact that people love cheering for an underdog. Whether in movies or sports or movies about sports, nothing engages our emotions like watching someone win against all odds. Do you guys have a favorite underdog story? John: The 1980 Winter Olympics Hockey Team. Miracle on Ice. Marlo: I grew up watching Underdog as a kid. John: Oh, it was such a great cartoon. Why can't you find Underdog in reruns? Anna: I don't know but what's the story about that guy Rudy, that movie? John: Notre Dame football, Rudy Ruettiger. Marlo: That's a great story too. We have plenty of them actually. Lots of underdogs. On National Underdog Day, celebrate your favorite unlikely hero that inspires you to go the distance. Anna: Marlo, what's with that outfit? Marlo: Well, what? That's an interesting outfit you have. Anna: John, back me up. Are you color blind, Marlo? I don't know what's going on with you there. Marlo: I'm not sure either, actually. John: The lights and glitter are an interesting touch. Marlo: Maybe that's why I can't see so well right now. Hang on a second. Let me dim the lights a little. John: Wait a second, is that panel on the front an advent calendar?! Anna: That's what it is. Marlo, are you celebrating Ugly Sweater Day by any chance? Marlo: Ta Da! Anna: Okay. Well it's that time of year when some people have parties to raise money for charity or Toys for Tots donations with an ugly sweater dress code. On National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day show your holiday spirit with something fun and hideous. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

SAJA, South Asian Journalists Association, presents the latest in its series of world-class conversations with fascinating speakers from the media, arts, politics and more. For much of the nearly eight years of its existence, SEPIA MUTINY was a singular phenomenon, tackling just about every South Asian diasporic issue there was, serious or inane. In the process, it established itself as a model of intelligent, interactive blogging, and the voice of a generation.` Those of us who worked elsewhere in the desi media, including at SAJAforum - looked on with a combination of admiration and envy -- How are they so prolific? What makes their readers so damn smart? But we felt nothing but regret when the Mutineers decided to close their doors last month. We know there will be nothing else like it. But join us Thursday night at 11 pm (Eastern time) for a very special SAJA webcast, as we conduct the SEPIA MUTINY EXIT INTERVIEW. We'll be joined by Sepia Mutiny founder Abhi Tripathi, blogging hellion Anna John, and the mysterious but always trenchant Ennis. We hope to also have plenty of SM fans participate, too. Moderating the conversation will be Arun Venugopal (@ArunNYC), WNYC reporter and Prof Sree Sreenivasan (@Sree), Columbia J-School.
