Podcasts about Boxing Day

Top political comedian Matt Forde reconvenes his Focus Group for a Boxing Day special with a Dickensian twist.Recorded in front of a live audience, Matt is joined by journalists, comedians and politicians – including former Cabinet Minister Michael Gove – to review the political state we're in through the lens of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Expect sharp analysis, unexpected confessions, and the year's biggest stories getting visited by the Ghosts of Politics Past, Present and Yet to Come.Appearing as a festive treat in BBC Radio 4's Friday Night Comedy feed, it's a topical comedy that's both genuinely funny and surprisingly insightful – perfect for digesting with the leftover turkey.Written and performed by Matt Forde Additional writing from Karl Minns, Laura Claxton and Richard Garvin Producer: Richard Garvin Executive Producers Jon Thoday and Richard Allen Turner Co-Producers: Daisy Knight and Jules Lom Broadcast Assistant: Sahar Rajabali Sound Design and Editing: David Thomas An Avalon production for BBC Radio 4

Newly released cabinet papers from 2005 reveal how the Howard government grappled with overlapping national and global crises. The documents detail early warnings of a possible pandemic, internal caution over Australia's military role in Afghanistan, and deliberations behind WorkChoices and offshore asylum processing. They also capture responses to the Boxing Day tsunami and domestic unrest, offering fresh insight into decisions that continue to shape Australia today.

What has the biggest impact on your health and happiness today? Perhaps you're thinking it's work, money, what you eat, how you sleep… Maybe it's your friends and family and how you interact with them… These are all valid answers. But let me put it to you that I think there's one factor that is linked to, but overrides, all of these things: stress. For this bonus New Year's Day episode, I wanted to speak to you directly about stress, so you can take action to stop it controlling your life in 2026. A bit like my Boxing Day podcast a few days ago, his episode is designed to gently inspire you at the start of the year, to help you reflect on your life, and to encourage you to create positive change in the months ahead. So I'm sharing with you the five simple habits that I know will help you reduce the impact of stress and transform your wellbeing this year. In this episode I reveal why it's so important to: Have a morning routine – to dramatically reduce early micro stress doses and positively shape the rest of your day. Learn a breathing technique you can take anywhere – because the way you breathe is powerful information for your body. Stop taking things personally – because learning to create space between what happens and how you respond is a surefire stress reliever. Practice true prevention – and stop worrying about your future health, with my revolutionary new app, Do Health. Find out how you can be one of the first to try it! And prioritise your sleep – by optimising light exposure, being aware of caffeine and creating a calming evening routine. I genuinely hope this episode helps you see stress differently and reminds you that small, consistent changes can have a profound impact. A little stress is part of life – but chronic stress doesn't have to be. And if you want to find out more about optimising your health in 2026, my book Happy Mind Happy Life is available TODAY in a brand new format in the UK, in its original format in many other countries and as an audiobook which I narrate all over the world!   Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

Menners is joined by Victorian sportswriter Jono Baruch to dissect the fallout from a deeply flawed Boxing Day Test that ended in just two days. While England's win is acknowledged as legitimate, the focus quickly turns to the pitch, the loss of spectacle, and the wider consequences for Australian cricket. They examine why the MCG surface failed Test cricket, the financial and broadcast impact of short matches, and whether Australia's push for result wickets has gone too far. The discussion then shifts to the Australian team's looming transition, including hard questions around Marnus Labuschagne's form, Usman Khawaja's future, Cameron Green's role, and whether Travis Head has finally locked down the opening position.

Rhys, Liam, Andy and Tim are back to unpack two huge wins for Wrexham over the festive period that have fans daring to dream of a play-off push once again.We react to a battling 2-1 home victory over Preston - a performance full of grit and quality, but one overshadowed by an injury to top scorer Kieffer Moore. Do Wrexham need cover in January? There's also praise for club-record signing Nathan Broadhead, who looks to be finding his best form at just the right time.Attention then turns to Boxing Day's astonishing 5–3 comeback win over Sheffield United - a chaotic, thrilling classic that showcased Wrexham at their fearless best, including an outstanding display from George Thomason at left wing-back.Finally, with speculation growing, the lads debate what the future might hold for Paul Mullin as talk intensifies around a possible return from his loan spell at Wigan Athletic.

In court, Portia was subpoenaed and forced to admit on the stand that she altered Heather Webber's test results and that she was with Isaiah the night Drew was shot, triggering fallout for Curtis and Trina. The judge recessed the trial until the new year, leaving Alexis to reassess her strategy and Drew increasingly exposed as his pressure tactics surfaced. Dante suspended Chase after testimony that undermined the PCPD, and Alexis received information suggesting Michael may have been at Drew's house the night of the shooting.Christmas scenes were spread across Maxie's, Curtis's, Lulu's, Sonny's, Carly's, Laura's, and the Quartermaine mansion, while Boxing Day began at Wyndemere. Marco explained to Lucas how important the Boxing Day tradition is to his father, Sidwell, setting up expectations for more to come. Additional Boxing Day moments appeared at the Quartermaine house as Tracy tried to maintain long-standing customs (that we've never seen before). Willow fought for Scout to see her family, for Molly and Cody to move forward, and Gio to played “O Holy Night”.Listen at GeneralHospitalPodcast.com #gh #ghupdates #jasonmorgan #lauracollins #brooklynnquartermaine #sonnycorinthos #dantefalconeri #drewcain #luluspencer #trinarobinson #emmascorpiodrake #giopalmieri #brittwestbourne #roccofalconeri #mollylansingdavis #elizabethwebber #nathanwest #curtisashford #jordanashford #jamespatrickstuart #valentincassadine #annadevane #finolahughes #cesarfaison #ninareeves #lukkespencer #anthonygeary #kirstenstormsThis podcast is not endorsed by, directly affiliated with, maintained, authorized, or sponsored by ABC Television Network, Prospect Studios, or any official General Hospital organizations.

Ander Iturralde da la bienvenida a Óscar Portugal, además de a Borja García, Rafa Pastrana y Héctor Kriok, para analizar toda la jornada de Boxing Day en la Premier League...Comenzando por el Arsenal reteniendo su liderato al derrotar al Brighton; un liderato que habría caído, de lo contrario, en manos de un Manchester City que con polémica y euforia noqueó al Nottingham Forest; pero no con tanta euforia como la que sintió el Aston Villa ganando en Stamford Bridge al Chelsea, remontada incluida, para sumar su 11ª victoria seguida de la temporada; mientras que la temporada es lo que se le está complicando al Newcastle tras una no abultada pero sí dura derrota contra el Manchester United; como sí que fue dura y abultada también la victoria del Brentford sobre el Bournemouth de Andoni Iraola; el Burnley y el Everton jugaron un partido duro para el fútbol y para los goles no marcados; los que sí que marcó el Liverpool para ganar ajustadamente al perfectamente resistible Wolverhampton; pero no son muchas mejores las sensaciones de unos martillos que unos lobos cuando el West Ham vuelve a perder con el Fulham de Rául Jiménez; el Sunderland y el Leeds jugaron un divertido partido de Championship; el Tottenham se convirtió en el mejor visitante de la liga con su victoria en Selhurst Park contra el Crystal Palace; quién fue John Robertson, el mejor jugador de la historia del Nottingham Forest, con Borja García; lo mejor y también casi todo lo demás de Championship, con Rafa Pastrana; un mensaje de ponerse medallitas desde Corea del Sur, con Héctor Kriok y mucho más.Apoya a que Alineación Indebida pueda prosperar, accede a todo nuestro contenido premium y a nuestro server de Discord suscribiéndote por tan sólo 1.00$/1.00€ en: https://www.patreon.com/posts/146407371Además...

Here is the final recap for 2025! Christmas Eve and Boxing Day are featured as well as Willow's trial.

SUN, SAND, AND SANTAS IN BOARD SHORTS: AN AUSTRALIAN CHRISTMAS Colleague Jeremy Zakis. Jeremy Zakis describes Christmas in Australia as the polar opposite of the Northern Hemisphere, featuring clear skies and temperatures in the mid-80s ideal for outdoor barbecues. While Queensland faced heavy rain and floods, most of the country enjoyed hot weather perfect for beach visits. Zakis details traditions like the Boxing Day cricket test and notes that while mall Santas wear wool, outdoor Santas often don board shorts and flip-flops. 1933 SYDNEY

Between Christmas and the New Year. Christmas is over. We've done Christmas Eve, Christmas day, Boxing Day... Now, we only have the New Year to see in. And then, it's time to look forward to the spring!

To close out the year the 3WHH barflies recorded a special Boxing Day edition, in which, following the obligatory McDonald's news for John and a breaking story that indicates President Trump really does mean it about defending Western Christendom, we review our predictions for 2025 from a year ago (which, unlike the old McLaughlin Group predictions, turned out to be fairly good in most cases); then discuss what each of think is the most significant story of 2025, and offer predictions for 2026. We couldn't make the Substack livestream work, but we're going to sort that out in the next week before our first show of the new season next weekend, which will be 2026!

This week we are bringing in the big guns

OA1219 - This year we are celebrating Boxing Day by not doing whatever people are supposed to do on Boxing Day and talking about weed instead. Did Donald Trump really just finish out 2025 by doing something good for US drug policy? We hotbox some Time Machine to revisit Matt's analysis from last May of Joe “Grandaddy Purple” Biden's announcement that he was initiating the long process to have the federal government to reclassify OG Kush from its current legal status as Green Crack down to the same category as metabolic steroids. We then return to the present to check in on the weirdly unreported story on how Biden's efforts went from Blue Dream to Trainwreck in the year after his big announcement before evaluating Trump's chances of turning cannabis policy Panama Red.  Finally, in a seasonal footnote Matt shares the story of how the city of Boston fired the first shots on the War on Christmas… in 1659. Biden DOJ's analysis of legal questions around plans to redesignate cannabis to Schedule III “Increasing Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research,” The White House (12/18/25) “The Penalty For Keeping Christmas,” Archive.org (Boston, 1659)

Is happiness a skill you can develop? Or is it a place you find yourself, if you're lucky? Today's podcast is a bonus episode that I've recorded, from me to you, to demonstrate that yes, happiness is about more than just chance. These special Boxing Day podcasts are becoming a bit of a tradition now (look out for one I'll be releasing on New Year's Day too). And in this one, I share five powerful ideas with you – five happiness habits that can transform your life in meaningful ways. They're all explored in much greater detail in my book Happy Mind Happy Life: 10 Simple Ways to Feel Great Every Day, which is being re-published in the UK in an exciting new format on 1 January 2026. But you can leverage your happiness levels right away by listening today. Here's a quick overview of what you'll learn: 1. Happiness is a Skill - Discover the difference between ‘junk happiness' and ‘core happiness' to feel more content, in control, and aligned with your values. 2. Define Success for Yourself - Imagine yourself on your deathbed and identify three things you'll wish you had done. What can you do now to move toward that ending? 3. Eliminate Choice - We make thousands of decisions a day, and each one drains mental energy. By creating routines and reducing choice, you can reduce that stress. 4. Make Time Stand Still - Identify ‘flow state' activities that make you lose track of time, and schedule them as investments in your happiness. 5. Seek Out Friction - If someone upsets you, ask yourself why their words affected you so much. Rewriting their story with compassion will increase your own sense of control. I hope this episode helps you and your family cultivate lasting happiness in 2026 and beyond. I explore all these ideas and many more in my newly formatted book Happy Mind Happy Life - available here as a paperback or as an audiobook, which I am narrating.

Happy Boxing Day, Heal Squad. It's a festive Lonely Guy Friday, coming to you from the quiet stretch after Christmas, when the wrapping paper's gone, the expectations ease up, and reality sneaks back in. Kev reflects on why Christmas feels like it flies by, why we build so much pressure around one perfect day, and why maybe the spirit of the holiday matters more than the sermon about what it shouldn't be. A look at generosity versus shame, giving versus guilt, and why kindness and being seen might be the point after all. A reminder that you don't have to fix everything, carry everyone, or solve decades of dysfunction during the holidays. Sometimes the most generous thing you can do is protect your energy, keep your heart open, and let people walk their own path. Happy Boxing Day, wherever you are and however you're spending it.
