MDJ Script/ Top Stories for January 21st Publish Date:  January 21st Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, January 21st and Happy Birthday to Jack Nicklaus I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Students shine at the Marietta City Schools district spelling bee Atlanta mayor talks FIFA, housing, transit Dog gained 57 pounds after rescue; owner now charged with animal cruelty All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: INGLES 7 STORY 1: Students shine at the Marietta City Schools district spelling bee Seventh-grader Ella Grace Beard from Marietta Middle School clinched the top spot at the Marietta City Schools spelling bee on Friday, sealing her victory with the word “allergenic.” The competition was intense—10 students, each a champion from their school, battled it out for 26 rounds. Now, Ella Grace is headed to the Georgia District 2 spelling bee in Cherokee County. Her dad, Jason Beard, couldn’t be prouder. “She’s been studying like crazy—she even got a dictionary for Christmas last year,” he shared. Superintendent Grant Rivera, who handed out trophies to Ella Grace and runner-up Sreenika Arcot, called the spelling bee one of the most stressful events of the year. Jeff Hubbard, president of the Cobb County Association of Educators, praised the event as a celebration of intelligence. Words like “archetype” and “tenement” challenged the spellers, but Ella Grace rose to the occasion. Now, she’s ready for the next round. STORY 2: Atlanta mayor talks FIFA, housing, transit Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens had a simple message at the Cobb Chamber luncheon: when Atlanta thrives, the whole region wins. Borrowing JFK’s famous line, “A rising tide lifts all boats,” Dickens made it clear that Atlanta’s success ripples far beyond city limits. Take the FIFA World Cup, for example. Starting in June, Atlanta will host eight matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, but the impact? It’ll stretch across the metro—Cobb County, Truist Park, Six Flags, Marietta Square. Through “Showcase Atlanta,” a leadership initiative chaired by Dickens, Arthur Blank, and UPS CEO Carol Tomé, the city plans to maximize the World Cup’s economic impact while spotlighting Atlanta’s culture and hospitality. And it’s not just about FIFA—Atlanta’s hosting the Super Bowl in 2028 and the NCAA Final Four in 2031. But Dickens didn’t shy away from challenges. With the metro population expected to grow by 1.8 million by 2050, he stressed the need for affordable housing and better transportation. “Teachers, first responders—they’re being priced out of the communities they serve. That’s a loss for all of us,” he said. And traffic? Atlanta’s infamous for it. Dickens wants to change that, starting with MARTA expansion into Cobb and Gwinnett. “We can’t keep doing this one-person-per-car thing forever,” he said. Dickens closed with a reminder: safety, health, opportunity—these aren’t partisan issues. “We all want thriving communities,” he said. “That’s something we can all agree on.” STORY 3: Dog gained 57 pounds after rescue; owner now charged with animal cruelty   Jordan Dean, 30, of Marietta, is facing an animal cruelty charge after what authorities describe as a heartbreaking case involving his Great Dane, Snoop. On Oct. 23, 2025, Dean reportedly brought Snoop to Cobb County Animal Services, claiming he’d found the dog as a stray near a Walgreens on Canton Road. But Snoop’s condition told a different story. Severely emaciated, his ribs and bones jutted out—no fat, barely any muscle. A cruelty exam scored Snoop at 1/9 on the body condition scale. He weighed just 50 pounds. After care, he reached 107 pounds with no medical issues causing the weight loss. Dean was arrested Jan. 5 and released the next day on a $10,000 bond.

Break: INGLES 7 STORY 4: Where the sidewalk ends: Mableton mayor talks SPLOST goals Mableton Mayor Michael Owens has his sights set on two big priorities: public safety and economic growth. And with the upcoming vote on a 1% special sales tax (SPLOST), he sees a chance to make it happen. If approved, the 2028 SPLOST would bring $97.6 million to Mableton—its first time creating its own project list since becoming a city in 2022. For Owens, it’s a defining moment. Top of the list? Sidewalks. “It’s the one thing everyone’s asking for,” Owens said, pointing to gaps along Veterans Memorial Highway and Nickajack Road. Parks, neighborhoods, and even businesses are disconnected, making walking unsafe—or impossible. But sidewalks are just the start. Owens envisions SPLOST funds going toward civic spaces, recreation centers, and even office parks to attract businesses. “You drive down Veterans Memorial, and it’s all shopping centers—no office buildings, no tech parks. That has to change,” he said. For Owens, the November vote is more than a tax—it’s a chance for Mableton residents to shape their city’s future. STORY 5: Marietta Police paint vibrant interrogation room for child witnesses, victims   The Marietta Police Department has turned one of its interview rooms into something truly special—a space designed with kids in mind. Gone are the cold, blank walls. In their place? A vibrant, hand-painted mural that feels more like a storybook than a police station. It’s colorful, calming, and, most importantly, comforting—created to help children, especially those who’ve experienced trauma, feel a little less scared during tough conversations. Marietta High School art teachers Amanda Rudolph and Katherine Robinson, along with students from the National Art Honor Society, poured their hearts into this project. The department’s goal? To make sure every child feels protected and heard. Break: STORY 6: Mableton earns recognition as environmentally friendly city    Mableton just snagged some serious recognition for going green. Mayor Michael Owens and city council members accepted the Silver-level Green Communities certification from the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC). It’s a big deal—proof that the city’s making real moves to cut its environmental impact. How’d they do it? Think tree preservation ordinances, a community composting program, expanded recycling, and even switching to a 100% electric vehicle fleet. Practical stuff with long-term impact. The certification also boosts Mableton’s chances for state and federal grants, meaning more investment without raising taxes. The Green Communities program evaluates cities on their environmental performance, and Mableton’s efforts earned them a spot among metro Atlanta’s leaders. But the work doesn’t stop here—the certification lasts four years, and the city will need to keep proving its commitment to stay certified. STORY 7: Senate bill would hold down property tax increases that fund Georgia schools  Georgia lawmakers are back at it, debating how to handle property taxes—and this time, they’re eyeing a cap tied to inflation. A new bill from Senate Republicans would force all school systems to limit property tax hikes, even as rising home values push assessments higher. Here’s the twist: last year, 71% of Georgia’s school systems voted to reject a similar cap. Why? Because it slashes funding for education. If this bill passes, schools would lose the ability to tax property values that outpace inflation, leaving them scrambling to cover costs. Sen. Chuck Hufstetler, the bill’s sponsor, argues it’s about fairness. The bill would also impact city and county governments that opted out of last year’s cap. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones called it a priority, saying it’s about “putting more money back in Georgians’ pockets.” Meanwhile, other tax proposals are swirling at the Capitol—like eliminating income taxes or ending homestead property taxes altogether. Gov. Brian Kemp? He’s pushing for tax rebates and a slight income tax cut. We’ll have closing comments after this.

Isaiah 11:1-9 I hate Charles Dickens. Actually, it is more accurate to say I hate the writing of Charles Dickens. Yet I will not let an Advent season go by without watching at least one version of A Christmas Carol. The story of Christmas, the Dickens one and the biblical one, invite us to learn how to love better. They also invite us to let go of our own expectations and live into a better story than the one we might tell.

To celebrate Melvyn Bragg's 27 years presenting In Our Time, five well-known fans of the programme have chosen their favourite episodes. The singer Joan Armatrading has selected the episode about Charles Dickens and recorded an introduction to it (this introduction will be available on BBC Sounds and the In Our Time webpage shortly after the broadcast and will be longer than the version broadcast on Radio 4). Dickens is best known for the strength of his plots and the richness of his characters, but he can also be regarded as a political writer. Some have seen him as a social reformer of great persuasiveness, as a man who sought through satire to expose the powerful and privileged, and whose scenes moved decision-makers to make better decisions. George Bernard Shaw said of Dickens's novel Little Dorrit that it was 'more seditious than Das Kapital'. Others argue that, although Dickens was a great caricaturist, he was really a conservative at heart. With Rosemary Ashton Professor of English at University College London Michael Slater Professor of Victorian Literature at Birkbeck College, University of London and editor of The Dent Uniform Edition of Dickens' Journalism And John Bowen Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Keele Producers: Jonathan Levi and Charlie Taylor This programme was first broadcast in July 2001. Spanning history, religion, culture, science and philosophy, In Our Time from BBC Radio 4 is essential listening for the intellectually curious. In each episode, host Melvyn Bragg and expert guests explore the people, ideas, events and discoveries that have shaped our world. In Our Time is a BBC Studios production.

Se sabe desde Babilonia que la ciudad es odiosa. No en vano, Caín fundó la primera de todas ellas, y desde entonces la cosa no ha mejorado. O'Henry decía que Nueva York carecía de un solo alma, Dickens describió Londres como si fuera una porqueriza y Ósip Mandelstan definió Moscú como una ensalada de madera y vidrio. También hay tuiteros ingeniosos que llaman "Carcelona" a Barcelona y "Pudrid" a Madrid. Por supuesto hay quien fantasea con volver al pueblo, donde se guarecen las esencias de lo auténtico (la fiscalización, la endogamia, la autenticidad, la falta de trabajo). Y también quien echa en falta las ciudades de antaño, cuando los aguadores vendían embotellada el agua de las fuentes y los vecinos gritaban sus alegres "agua va" al arrojar por la ventana el contenido de los orinales; quizá el Madrid de Galdós no era tan brioso como parecía, y acaso los figones cochambrosos que frecuentaba el ciego Almudena los habría cerrado Santidad; bien pensado, por el cuchitril de Fortunata en la Cava de San Miguel hoy le pedirían un ojo de la cara. Por eso es de celebrar la guerra (la expresión bélica es suya) que la ministra Isabel Rodríguez, que ayer estuvo en esta santa casa, ha emprendido contra los pisos turísticos ilegales, quizá viendo que Carlos Hernández Quero, de Vox, le come la tostada en el extrarradio y en los barrios populares. Hasta Trump ha dicho algo parecido. Curiosos tiempos en que la derecha te adelanta por la izquierda. Alsina: en conclusión…Decía el castizo que la felicidad va por barrios. Quizá, en vez de enredarnos en sesudos debates sobre urbanismo, convendría recuperar la vieja urbanidad. No nos hagamos daño.

In this episode of Innovation Meets Leadership, host Natalie Born sits down with Clifton Dickens, a seasoned information security leader with over 30 years of experience spanning cybersecurity, IT audit, governance, and organizational leadership. This conversation goes beyond technology to explore how leadership mindset, diversity of thought, and healthy conflict directly impact innovation, decision-making, and long-term organizational resilience.Clifton challenges leaders to rethink how teams are built, how processes are designed, and why discomfort is often a signal—not a threat. From recognizing fragile leadership structures to reframing governance and security as strategic advantages, this episode offers practical wisdom for leaders who want stronger teams, smarter systems, and outcomes that actually work for everyone they serve.[00:00 – 03:30] Introducing Clifton Dickens & the Evolution of LeadershipClifton's 30+ years in information security and IT leadership.Why leadership today must account for changing workforce expectations.Passion, flexibility, and purpose as drivers of modern work.[03:31 – 07:00] Vision, Creativity, and Thinking Beyond the BoxWhy innovation starts with the ability to imagine what doesn't exist yet.The importance of childlike curiosity and asking “why.”How overconfidence and “knowing it all” can stall innovation.[07:01 – 10:30] Identifying Fragile Leadership and Team StructuresEarly warning signs of weak culture and vulnerable leadership systems.Why groupthink is one of the biggest risks inside organizations.The role of leaders in inviting honest input—not silent agreement.[10:31 – 14:30] The Power of Healthy ConflictWhy the best solutions come from differences of opinion.Reframing conflict as constructive friction rather than negativity.How avoiding conflict leads to products and systems that fail in the real world.[14:31 – 17:30] Governance, Compliance, and Security as Strategic AdvantagesWhy leaders often react emotionally to words like governance and compliance.How security and controls accelerate performance when framed correctly.Protecting critical data as both risk management and competitive advantage.[17:31 – 21:30] Process, Accountability, and Organizational ControlWhy leaders must understand where effort, labor, and energy are going.How documented processes create clarity and accountability.Clifton's approach to periodically re-engineering team processes.[21:31 – 24:30] Diversity of Thought Drives Better OutcomesWhy homogeneous teams create solutions for only a small percentage of users.The danger of designing for comfort instead of effectiveness.How inclusive teams create products and systems that work for everyone.[24:31 – 28:00] Final Leadership TakeawaysWhy leaders must look at the organization from the top down.Understanding contribution, control, and direction.Where to connect with Clifton and continue the conversation.Quotes“If everyone thinks the same way, that's a sign something is wrong.” – Clifton Dickens“The best solutions usually come out of some sort of conflict.” – Clifton Dickens“Innovation starts with asking ‘what if, even when the answer makes you uncomfortable.” – Clifton DickensConnect with Clifton DickensLinkedIn: Clifton Dickens https://www.linkedin.com/in/cliftondickens/If this conversation resonated with you, leave a review and share this episode with a leader who's ready to build stronger teams, embrace diverse perspectives, and rethink how systems actually work.

Host Greg Bluestein is joined by AJC Atlanta City Hall reporter Riley Bunch to break down Mayor Andre Dickens' second term as he begins his final years in office. They examine how Dickens enters with a stronger political position, fewer organized opponents, and an ambitious agenda, while looking ahead to the challenges facing City Hall, from shrinking federal support to major redevelopment plans and preparations for the 2026 World Cup.

On this week's Political Breakfast, Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson, Republican strategist Brian Robinson and host Lisa Rayam return LIVE and wish our listeners a happy new year! Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens was sworn into his second term on Monday, along with all members of the Atlanta City Council. The crowd also heard from newly sworn-in Atlanta City Council President Marci Collier Overstreet. Plus, we cover what's potentially next for Georgia's former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. The Republican resigned from her conservative northwest Georgia district. Her last day was Monday. This past weekend, Greene continued to speak out against President Donald Trump -- criticizing the U.S. capturing of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Greene was once one of Trump's most loyal supporters, but split with him on issues including his initial stance on the release of the Epstein files and on foreign affairs.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off the week with conversations about creating New Year’s resolutions in God’s power. We, as followers of Christ, need to be reliant on God because without Him we can do nothing, but when we rely on Him, He helps us overcome. We turned to Titus 2:11-12, which states that the grace of God gives us the freedom, strength, and discipline to say ‘no’ to ungodliness and worldly passions. We also had Dr. Drew Dickens join us to discuss how we can prompt Artificial Intelligence to ask thought-provoking questions that prompt spiritual reflection, and he shared updates on the world of AI. Dr. Dickens is a visionary leader, AI expert, and scholar who has significantly contributed to the intersection of technology, spirituality, and faith-based engagement.

Recorded live in Utah after a two year wait, this CONversation with Craig drops you straight into a packed room with Christopher Eccleston and an audience ready to sprint into Doctor Who territory at full speed. Craig kicks things off by digging into Christopher's take on Fagin in Dodger, including how you approach an iconic role that comes with real baggage. From there it turns into a smart, funny, occasionally sharp Q&A about stepping back into the Ninth Doctor with Big Finish, what it was like recording in isolation during COVID, and why the Doctor's loneliness is not a side note, it is the engine. Chris describes the character in a way that keeps the charm and the danger intact, calling him “a kind of a Robin Hood figure,” but still someone with “a slightly dodgy, no pun intended, moral compass.” He also connects that damage to the Ninth Doctor, which is a neat little bridge between Dickens and the TARDIS. He talks about recording during COVID with only a sound engineer, how quickly the character came back, and how audio acting has its own rules. You cannot rely on sprinting down corridors or flailing your arms like a windmill. There is a great exchange about villains and what actually terrifies people. Eccleston points out how one story was designed with adults in mind. “Oh, he's falling through time. He's alone as we all are...really. He's alone.” - Christopher Eccleston Want more exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes stories from the people who bring your favorite characters to life?

I'm your host, Jeremy McCandless, and I'm so glad you've joined me for this first episode of a new bi-monthly journey—one that explores the great works of classic literature, approaching these great books via the world out of which they emerged—a cultural heritage, rich in spiritual metaphor.Each season, we'll walk alongside the giants of literary history—authors who in many ways have shaped nations, stirred hearts, whilst at the same time wrestling with the deepest questions of human existence. But we won't just admire their craft. We'll ask: What spiritual soil did these stories grow from? What echoes of grace and redemption resound within their pages?

Have you seen the “Grinch prank” video trend? Bad parenting, yes. But also a nod to the conflicts, ancient and modern, embedded in Christmas.  Contrary to what Bill O'Reilly would tell you, there has never been a “war on Christmas.” Rather, Christmas itself has always been a battleground over love, dignity, and resources. What we're really fighting over is who gets care in systems built on scarcity and extraction.

Episode 656 - Diana Harmon Asher - Author of Sidetracked, Upstaged, and Trouble Finds Evie LefkowitzI'm Diana Harmon Asher, the author of Sidetracked, Upstaged, and the upcoming Trouble Finds Evie Lefkowitz.It took me a long time to get a book published. A really long time.There were a lot of “no's” before I got to “yes.” But I kept writing and I kept learning. Finally, I wrote Sidetracked, and the answer was “yes!”One of my teachers used to say that every character you create contains a piece of yourself. I definitely share a lot of worries with Joseph, and I'd like to think I'm a good friend like Heather. I'm an opera fan like Grandpa and I love Inishbofin sheep and Dickens, like Mrs. Fishbein. I hope I have some of Cassie's goofiness in me, and like Paul, I'll never fit in with the cool kids. I share Shira's shyness, some of her stage experience (see photo) and a lot of her stage fright.Like my newest character, Evie, my father was a cantor at our synagogue (something you'll find out more about in the book), and he passed away when I was young.  But also like Evie, I was surrounded by love and good friends. I never really did get into a lot of trouble…but maybe I should have! I hope I share Evie's resilience, her optimism, and most of all, her sense of humor.Writing itself makes me happy. But knowing that readers are enjoying my books is even better. I love when kids identify with Heather, or when a student proudly announces that they have ADD just like Joseph. I love the thought that some of you might be encouraged to strive for your own personal record, audition for a show, try out for a team, stick up for an old friend, and be open to new ones.And I hope all of my stories give you a few chuckles along the way.I look forward to meeting and hearing from more of you in the months and years to come!https://dianaharmonasher.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Cada año que pasa nos cuenta algo nuevo… o mejor aún, nos lo canta. Comenzamos el año haciendo un repaso por los musicales que Javier Alonso ha escogido para hacer ese recorrido en su libro “Cantar la historia. Cómo los musicales nos explican la historia de los últimos 100 años”. Carousel, Company, West Side Story, Wicked, o Cats son algunos de los que repasamos con el divulgador cultural. Además, nos preguntamos a qué sonará 2026. María Taosa, nuestra compañera de Radio 3, nos cuenta qué canciones traerá el año nuevo y qué grupos volverán con más música. Y acabamos con Laura Fernández, que desde su pequeño rincón del mundo nos descubre a Mónica Dickens, la bisnieta escritora de Charles Dickens, y su novela sobre sus experiencias como sirvienta “Un par de manos”Escuchar audio

I'm re-sharing one of my favorite episodes of Everything Is the Best, my conversation with Ky Dickens, because it still feels deeply important.Ky is a filmmaker and truth-seeker, and we talk candidly about power, influence, intuition, and what happens when trust is misplaced. This episode matters to me not just as a woman, but as a mother to a daughter with autism. It reminds me how essential it is to protect vulnerability, to listen closely, and to stay grounded in truth while still holding onto hope.This conversation stayed with me because it's ultimately about clarity, agency, and believing yourself again. If you're in a season of questioning, healing, or learning how to trust your inner voice, I hope this episode offers both perspective and hope.I'm really glad to share it again.Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on Hysteria 51, we're taking a scenic drive straight through the Bermuda Triangle of bad decisions—starting in Volusia County, Florida, where a man involved in a crash in a stolen BMW convertible allegedly told deputies he didn't steal anything… because he “teleported” into the car. Yes, teleported. The keys were reportedly left in the vehicle at a park, the BMW vanished, and minutes later it was wrecked—leaving law enforcement to do the world's most exhausted sigh and add “quantum parking” to the incident report.Then we hop across the pond to a seaside mystery that sounds like a Dickens subplot written by a prankster: reports say hundreds of Victorian-era shoes have been washing up on Ogmore beach in south Wales, sparking theories that range from shipwreck history to “the ocean is returning someone's entire wardrobe, one boot at a time.” So if you like your weird news with a side of Florida teleportation claims, stolen car chaos, and creepy beach finds that look like a Victorian ghost got undressed in a tide pool—hit play.Links & Resources

Every Christmas season, A Christmas Carol returns to our screens and pages as a story of generosity, redemption, and hope. But beneath the familiar narrative, Charles Dickens was also making a powerful argument—one that challenges how society views the poor, children, and human worth itself.In today's Christmas episode of Faith & Finance, we sat down with Jerry Bowyer, our resident economist and president of Bowyer Research, to explore the deeper economic and theological message Dickens embedded in this classic tale.The Meaning Behind “Surplus Population”One of the most disturbing lines in A Christmas Carol comes from Ebenezer Scrooge, who suggests that the poor might be better off dying to reduce the “surplus population.”Jerry explained that this phrase wasn't casual or poetic—it was loaded with meaning in Dickens' day. It reflected the influence of Thomas Malthus, an economist whose ideas shaped early 19th-century thinking. Malthus believed population growth would always outpace food and resources, making widespread poverty inevitable. His conclusion? Society should discourage the poor from having children.Dickens deliberately places this language in the mouth of his villain. Scrooge isn't just cruel—he's the embodiment of a philosophy that treats people as economic problems rather than human beings made in God's image.Jerry noted that Dickens was, in effect, writing A Christmas Carol as a rebuttal to Malthus.By the time Dickens wrote the story, Britain was entering what economists now call the Great Takeoff—a period of unprecedented growth in productivity, trade, and human flourishing. Malthus had predicted catastrophe just before abundance exploded.Dickens highlights this abundance through scenes overflowing with food, trade goods, and celebration. The message is clear: people don't merely consume resources—they create them.Scarcity, Trauma, and Scrooge's PastDickens doesn't excuse Scrooge's cruelty, but he does explain it. Through the Ghost of Christmas Past, we see a lonely boy shaped by hunger, cold, and deprivation.Jerry pointed out that Scrooge's scarcity mindset is rooted in trauma. His fear of lack leads him to believe that God—if He exists at all—is stingy. That fear shapes his economics, his relationships, and his resistance to generosity.The turning point comes when Scrooge encounters the Ghost of Christmas Present. When told the spirit has over 1,800 brothers—each representing a Christmas—Scrooge responds, “What a large family to provide for.”It's another glimpse of his scarcity thinking. And it draws sharp rebuke.Jerry emphasized that Dickens is confronting the idea that more people mean less provision. In contrast, Scripture reveals a God who is generous, creative, and abundant—and who commands humanity to fill the earth, not fear it.No One Is DisposableBy the end of the story, Scrooge is transformed. He becomes generous, relational, and deeply concerned for others—especially children like Tiny Tim.Jerry observed that in a Malthusian worldview, Tiny Tim is expendable. But Dickens—and the gospel—say otherwise. There are no surplus people.Even Jesus Himself, Jerry noted, would have been classified as “surplus population” by such a system—born poor, dependent, and unwanted by the powerful.The language may have changed, but the ideas persist. Whenever society treats children as burdens, the poor as problems, or human life as expendable in the name of efficiency or sustainability, we are hearing echoes of Scrooge before his redemption.Dickens reminds us that economics is always moral—and theology always shapes how we view people.Watching With New EyesAs Jerry put it, A Christmas Carol isn't just a holiday story. It's a challenge to scarcity, fear, and dehumanization—and an invitation to generosity rooted in trust.As families watch this story together, it becomes a powerful opportunity to talk with our children about God's abundance, human dignity, and what it truly means to love our neighbor.Because the real miracle of Christmas isn't simply changed behavior—it's a changed heart.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a substantial amount of savings sitting in the bank and want to protect it from inflation.

Aquí está nuestro especial navideño del 2025: un viaje por las películas de la Navidad. Desde sus inicios, el cine ha encontrado en la Navidad el escenario perfecto para narrar historias que giran alrededor de uno de los espíritus que más nos convocan. Esta relación ha sido tan estrecha que ambos se han construido mutuamente: la festividad ha creado un género cinematográfico propio y, a su vez, las películas han definido la estética moderna de luces y nieve que asociamos con la época. La historia de este encuentro comenzó con pioneros como el corto Santa Claus de 1898 y las adaptaciones de Dickens que establecieron los temas de caridad y reencuentro que hoy conocemos. ¡¡Felices fiestas para toda la comunidad de Dianauribe.fm!!

Merry Christmas! Our series concludes with a 90s classic for all ages: The Muppet Christmas Carol! This has it all--nostalgia, Michael Caine, Dickens, and Muppets. And they all mesh much better than you'd imagine.Enjoy!

Did Dickens ruin Christmas? He was certainly a pioneer in exploiting its commercial potential. A Christmas Carol sold 6,000 copies in five days when it was published on 19 December 1843, and Dickens went on to write four more lucrative Christmas books in the 1840s. But in many ways, this ‘ghost story of Christmas' couldn't be less Christmassy. The plot displays Dickens's typical obsession with extracting maximum sentimentality from the pain and death of his characters, and the narrative voice veers unnervingly from preachy to creepy in its voyeuristic obsessions with physical excess. The book also offers a stiff social critique of the 1834 Poor Law and a satire on Malthusian ideas of population control. In this long extract from ‘Novel Approaches', part of our Close Readings podcast, Colin Burrow and Clare Bucknell join Tom to consider why Dickens's dark tale has remained a Christmas staple.

Merry Christmas, friends and FoGgers! We're still in our off-season for regular episodes, but in keeping with recent tradition we're jumping in again to cover an adaptation of Charles Dickens' immortal classic, A Christmas Carol.This time, we're covering a decisively less traditional and straight-forward version of the story with a conversation about Bharat Nalluri's film THE MAN WHO INVENTED CHRISTMAS, based on the book by Les Standiford. The story focuses on Dickens himself (played by Dan Stevens) who, following a disappointing streak of low-selling works, hurls himself into a swift bid for success by attempting to write and publish a small book for Christmas within 6 short weeks. The film explores Dickens' various personal troubles, including tensions with his father and his peers, and the ways in which the creation of his timeless story pointed to a personal redemption and sparked a fervor for a holiday that too-long been ignored. It also deploys a creative narrative device by having the characters from A Christmas Carol blur the lines between Dickens' imagination and his experiences.Our conversation also features a brief excursion examining the classic animated short MICKEY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL and a Patron-only return of the long absent WHATCHA segment, this is a lively and heartfelt discussion about the ways the stories in our hearts can teach and guide us and how the season of Christmas can point us to so much more than a mere celebration.We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!Patron Only Segment: Whatcha Watchin' / Readin' / Listenin' To (Task, It: Welcome to Derry, The Chair Company, and Freakier Friday)6:53 - The Christmas Carol Tradition11:56 - MICKEY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL27:56 - THE MAN WHO INVENTED CHRISTMASSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Charles Dickens was a famous English writer who lived in the 1800s. One of his most beloved stories is A Christmas Carol, the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, a grumpy man who learns the true meaning of kindness. Dickens wrote the story to show how important generosity and compassion are, especially toward people who are struggling. Try Cocomelon Sing & Play for Free on your smart TV Volley App

Long before Dickens penned A Christmas Carol, our ancestors gathered around midwinter fires to tell tales of spirits and monsters lurking in the darkness. Tonight, we explore why Christmas and ghost stories have been intertwined for thousands of years — then share true accounts that prove the tradition is very much alive. #HolidayHorrorsIN THIS EPISODE: Earlier this month I shared some true reports of people seeing Kris Kringle – or what appeared to be Kris Kringle – in real life. But there are many more of those strange sightings to share! (More Real Santa Sightings) *** Christmas has been celebrated for centuries, and gift-giving has been around in America since well before the Civil War. But how we celebrate and what we give changes depending on the time. We'll take a look at what Christmas was like for American pioneers in the 1800s. (Christmas in The Old West) *** At a Christmas party the revelers heard a horrifying scream from outside. They rushed out to hear the screams were coming from the sky, at least above the rooftops. But how could that be? It was then that they learned Oliver Lerch had disappeared – never to be seen again. (The Christmas Disappearance of Oliver Lerch) *** Nothing says Christmas like a poisonous weed! Well… you explain mistletoe! We'll look at why we're supposed to kiss under this deadly plant during the holidays. (A Kiss Under the Mistletoe) *** A horrible fire breaks out at an Oklahoma school during the holidays of 1924 – and the ghosts of the children still linger at the site. (Ghosts of the Babbs Switch School Christmas Fire) *** You might be celebrating Christmas like a viking and not even realize it. From the holiday ham to the evergreen in your living room, we'll look at how the pagan celebration of Yule influenced modern Christmas traditions. (How To Celebrate Christmas Like a Viking) *** Kids in America anxiously await the arrival of Santa Claus bounding down the chimney with gifts and candy for the good little boys and girls. But that's America. What comes down the chimney of Irish and Scottish kids may not be so jolly, plump, and loving. Some Gaelic children have to watch out for the Bodach. (Beware the Bodach at Christmas) *** It's something we're trying to revive here on Weird Darkness… the lost tradition of telling ghost stories at Christmas.
