Podcasts about Christmas

Traditions can be meaningful—unless they replace the message they were meant to honor. Dr. Tony Evans explains how the true heart of Christmas centers on our need for a Savior and how embracing that truth can transform everything.

Jared kicks off Chit Chat Wednesday with comedian Caitlin Peluffo, joking about her life as a road warrior and the reality of touring, from romanticizing small towns to surviving bleak winter clubs on comedy club coffee. Caitlin gives a Hallmark-level rundown of her parents' over-the-top 55+ community Christmas setup, complete with gingerbread villages, reindeer plaques, and stockings with old-school oranges. She also shares why being single is her current glow-up: no emotional management, no long-distance stress, just peace, vibes, and group chats. They wrap with a goofy round of “Flabby or Fab,” shout out to Caitlin's upcoming shows, and agree that a Zingerman's sandwich in Ann Arbor is non-negotiable!Jared is on tour!

In this week's episode, Turk questions his faith after a particularly difficult Christmas in the ER. In the real world, Zach and Donald recount the inspirations behind one of the best dream sequences in Scrubs' history.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1960s London, for young guitar enthusiasts, believing that “Clapton is God” was practically the 11th Commandment. In 1970 he lent his big, sticky tone to yet another band: Derek and the Dominos. The group's white-hot blues burned bright for barely more than a year, but their impact was massive. Guided by drug, alcohol and heartbreak free-fall, Eric Clapton created one of rock's most recognizable guitar riffs, while drummer Jim Gordon contributed God's great piano coda. Except Gordon was guided by something far more sinister — something that started with incessant voices in his head, and ended with a hammer, a butcher knife, and a dead mother.

On a balmy Los Angeles New Year's Eve, as the city chimed with hope and regret, the Podcast Ghost of 2025 came gliding through the lamplit air to visit Trixie and Katya, its countenance stitched of hours spent listening to the pod in the netherworld. Awakened from their slumber, it showed them hours upon hours squandered on movie reviews and anecdotes and puns that curdled into cacophonic comedy, yet also tender moments of kindness and humanity. With solemn cheer it bade them look upon the coming dawn of 2026, urging them to spend their mirth like alms, to temper their razor-sharp wit with warmth so that joy might not merely sparkle but endure during these dark times. And when the spirit faded with the last bell's echo, they awoke resolved, hearts aglow as hearths on Christmas morning, determined to walk the new year bearing goodwill and cheer to all whom will hear.

It's an episode from Dec 2023 and we're talking about Christmas!

On this episode of the Mallory Bros Podcast, the guys kick things off with a recap of Christmas morning, talking gifts, family time, being with the kids, and everything that comes with the holidays. That conversation naturally turns into a bigger question: is the Christmas magic gone? From there, the bros debate whether it's acceptable to bring a gaming console to the birth of your child after a tweet from Terrell went viral and sparked heavy discussion online. They then shift to serious news, reacting to Anthony Joshua's tragic accident in Nigeria, paying respect to those who lost their lives, and unpacking the circumstances surrounding the event. Next up, the guys talk about A$AP Rocky announcing a January release date for his upcoming album Don't Be Dumb—hopefully. They discuss whether the album will actually drop, what to expect creatively, and how Rocky's sound may evolve years after his prime run. The conversation then turns to Beyoncé officially becoming a billionaire, which opens a deeper discussion about wealth, ethics, and whether billionaires should be celebrated. That leads into a debate about dating etiquette: is it ever okay to ask for a box on the first date? Terrell pushes back on the idea that it signals financial instability and offers a different perspective. The two clash ideas here. Terrance then asks whether it's an underrated blessing to be with a woman who doesn't post on Instagram, following another trending conversation online. The episode wraps with a Cheers to 2026, as the bros share reflections on the year, personal resolutions, and goals for the Realest 9 moving forward. They close with thoughts on Draymond Green's take on playing NBA games on Christmas, some NFL talk as we prep for the last game of the season, and a small but common JD5 debate to take us out,.   Follow Us on Twitter @MalloryBros9 for all updates!

It's officially the most wonderful time of the year— or is it?  During the holidays, many of us are anything but cheerful. From Thanksgiving to Diwali, Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanza and New Year's, it‘s enough to make anyone feel frantic and frazzled.  In this episode, Jill sits down with Niro Feliciano, cognitive psychotherapist and author of the new book ‘⁠All is Calmish– How to Feel Less Frantic and More Festive During the Holidays⁠,' about the best ways to handle stress and feel joy during the holiday season. Niro has tips for dealing with grief, savoring key moments, knowing when to say "no," and even how to help kids (and adults) handle the influx of comparisons caused by social media and diverse holiday traditions. You can subscribe to Niro's newsletter, ⁠Three Good Things⁠ , for more on gratitude, relationships, and wellness. Jill Wagner (⁠@jillrwagner⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist. She's the Managing Editor of Mo News. Jill previously worked as a correspondent for CBS News, Cheddar News, and News 12. She also co-founded the Need2Know newsletter, and has made it a goal to drop a Seinfeld reference into every Mo News podcast.

As we turn our attention away from Christmas and 2026 approaches, it is time to take one last look back at the best DLS moments of 2025. We kick off this week's recap of the year with one of the best stories Zaslow has ever told us: how he ended up traveling to South Bend by bus. Also in this hour: an argument about how impressive Shohei Ohtani actually is and Tony's Top 5 from Pitbull Stadium at FIU. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On today's show, Pat, Darius Butler, AJ Hawk, and the boys overreact to everything that happened in week 17 of the NFL season as more teams punched tickets, seeding is still up in the air, and we look ahead to the implications of week 18 with teams still jostling for the #1 seed and the winners of the NFC South and AFC North still in the balance, and they go around the internet for some overreactions. Joining the progrum to chat about some of the bigger injuries that happened over the weekend, what he's hearing about Lamar Jackson's status, Maxx Crosby's future with the Raiders, the 49ers pursuit of the #1 seed, and which coaches might be on the hot seat is Senior NFL Insider, Adam Schefter. Next, 3x DPOY, countless Pro Bowls/All-Pro's, future Hall of Famer, Texans Ring of Honor member, and color commentator for the NFL on CBS, JJ Watt joins the show to recap week 17, look ahead to week 18, discuss the act of giving Christmas presents to teammates (specifically QB's), and decide if any of the Roughing the Passer's called last week were actually penalties.

No show until FRIDAY! Have a happy and safe New Years! Thank you again for the continued support! Today's word of the day is ‘savior' as in the NFL gets a dream scenario for Week 18 as in Steelers as in Ravens as in Panthers as in Buccaneers as in Seahawks as in 49ers! Wow. The AFC North is up for grabs. The NFC South is up for grabs. The No. 1 seed and the NFC West is up for grabs. And we cannot forget the losers all playing for the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft! Let's start with the Steelers and DK Metcalf. (19:20) Saturday is locked up with two great games next weekend. That NFC South clash matters, but the Falcons could have a major say. What about the NFC West? The NFL could have to get through San Francisco to claim a title. (25:15) Are you interested in the No. 1 pick? We've got a five team battle! What's going on with the Raiders and Maxx Crosby? (33:40) Charles Barkley has a big issue with the NFL. He is sick of them playing on Christmas, and he made it known. (40:40) Review: Jay Kelly.

After a campaign built on the promise that Trump was going to look out for his voters, he started his administration getting sidetracked by DOGE and Musk's phony ideas about saving money. After that petered out, he got distracted by his need to put his name all over the place. In the process, he's totally forgotten to help his people—or even fake trying to help them. Meanwhile, Trump is trapped in a Groundhog Day of his own making on Ukraine-Russia. Plus, his bruising has now moved to his left hand, Melania can't speak English, the DOJ is still working to find the 'real' people who made the rioters descend on the Capitol, the withholding of information in the Epstein case is worse than the redactions, and Dems need to forcefully call out the Medicaid fraud in Minnesota.

Mailbag Monday lands in the weird, snack-filled limbo between Christmas and New Year's, and Jared proudly reminds you that while other podcasts are “resting,” Uncle J Train is still clocking in. He tackles a Hallmark-level dilemma about crushing on a cute, ring-free optometrist and how to shoot your shot without turning it into a LinkedIn crime scene. Then he breaks down the “fifth date shut down” question and why silence afterward can actually be a helpful answer for both people. The episode takes a surprisingly sweet turn with a one-year-later follow-up from a listener who finally said “I love you” after a divorce—and it worked—sending Jared into full sentimental mode. It's equal parts dating advice, gentle pep talk, and holiday-season camaraderie.Jared is on tour!

SEASON 4 EPISODE 44: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Why isn’t Trump bombing RUSSIAN terrorist scum who have been targeting and viciously killing innocent Christians in UKRAINE? I mean now that our White Supremacist Theocratic Bandit government has gone into the Crusades business; now that per Trump we’re bombing to kill ISIS terrorist scum “who have been targeting and viciously killing...innocent Christians” in NIGERIA, shouldn't yesterday's meeting with Zelensky have been about how Trump is going to protect the Christians in Ukraine - and Ukraine is an 85% Christian country - by bombing the Russian terrorist scum who have been targeting and viciously killing innocent Christians IN Ukraine? I'm not holding my breath. But since it's obvious that yesterday all Trump did was stall, just as all he's been doing since he again seized power is stalling on Putin's behalf (he even took a call from Putin 72 minutes before the Zelensky meeting began), isn't this tack supporters of Ukraine and Europe and world freedom who aren't morons like Trump or Rubio who think 'it's not our war because OCEANS' (a logical argument as long as this is the year 1909) should now take? ALSO: THE TRUMP PARDON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX? It seems brand new. In fact there was a lawsuit alleging Rudy Giuliani told his girlfriend he and Trump were selling pardons for $2,000,000 apiece as long ago as 2019. And we check in MAGA stupidity, how even Brian Krassenstein trolled them, and why on earth Stephen Miller would think the term "sexual matador" is a compliment given how much he hates Mexicans and Spanish-speaking people like, you know, Matadors. B-Block (33:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Somebody actually tries to insult the Pope by calling him "Holier Than Thou"; WSJ has a piece blasting Jack Smith written by the first lawyer Trump hired to defend himself against Jack Smith, the ironically named "James Trusty"; Trump is finally hoisted on his lawsuit petard. If we damaged you financially or emotionally, says the Pulitzer Prize Board, we're going to know by how much so we'll need all your fiancial and emotional health records. C-Block (46:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: What did you get for Christmas? I got a Baseball Cap! From Ted Turner! Of course, this is Christmas 1982 I'm talking about. The saga of Ted, my first tv job, and what might have been my last tv job after he and I argued in public. But it ended happily - with baseball caps for Christmas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this Christmas teaching, Francis Chan invites us to slow down and truly adore Jesus. To not just believe in Him, but respond to the God who first came after us. Reflecting on the meaning of ”Emmanuel, God with us,” Francis explains how God has always been the initiator: creating humanity, pursuing us after the fall, dwelling among His people, sending His Son, and ultimately placing His Spirit within us. From the garden to the manger to the indwelling Holy Spirit, the story of Christmas is the story of a God who wants to be with us. This message reframes prayer, worship, and even repentance, not as efforts to earn God's attention, but as responses to His mercy, grace, and relentless love. As we celebrate Christmas, we're reminded that God is near, He is knocking, and He longs to pour His love into our hearts.

Marcus, Luke and Pete slide gently into the Christmas perineum, with a barn-burning round of Barclays representing the nuts and Speller's game of England player charades probably signifying the bum. Across that round of barn-burning we saw Villa's burgeoning title charge as Arsenal continue to splutter, Ryan Cherki keep the vibes pumping at the Etihad and Ruben Amorim finally change his formation: truly, a Christmas miracle.

Here in his own words. So "they" killed him and then made Minaj a Turning Point star in clear violation of his stated wishes. How deep does this rabbit hole go?Wow. Nikki Minaj makes a surprise appearance at TPUSA's AmFest, where she is interviewed by Erika Kirk. The singer-rapper has been facing backlash from Democrats and leftists after she expressed support for the US admin's advocacy for persecuted Christians.On Christmas Jews and Christians join together with Jesus as bridge. For Jews he was a mortal man who hated Roman tyranny and was murdered by Tiberius. For Christians he was the portal to monotheism, the Torah, and love of IsraelUCC 'pastor' explains that Jesus wasn't actually born of a virgin because: "The word 'virgin' in the first century had more to do with a woman who made decisions independent of a spouse. That's the way I like to think of it, that Jesus was born to an independent woman.Released on the Church of England's official Instagram page, the *main character* in the Christmas story is not Jesus, but Mary.

Andy and Brendan's Christmas wish for a "Home Alone" episode to finish out 2025 has come true! The Boys take over the feed for this final look back at the year in professional golf as Joseph and PJ recap the 3M Open and Wyndham Championship. Before getting to what was perhaps the most important tournament of the season, The Boys first discuss TGL's Season 2 debut on Sunday. Billy Horschel took down NYGC again, continuing to be the bane of the entire city's existence according to the broadcast. Billy was joined by Chris Gotterup and Corey Conners on the Atlanta Drive as last-minute replacement players for the suddenly-injured Patrick Cantlay and Lucas Glover. Despite only having one (1) of the team's four (4) players active, Atlanta still managed to clean up against Cameron Young, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Xander Schauffele. Joseph and PJ discuss some standout new holes designed by Augie Pizá and share some excitement for this Friday's Ballfrogs match. There's also been a bit of major golf news since we've been away - Talor Gooch is now the captain of Smash GC! Joseph reads from a new LIV article detailing Gooch's approach to his newfound captaincy and the fallout from Brooks Koepka leaving the league with one year remaining on his contract. The Boys try to game out where this leaves Brooks to play in 2026 and PJ wonders if an easy route back to the PGA Tour for Koepka is coming soon. Bryson DeChambeau is also posturing for a new contract, telling Flushing It that some things need to change for the now-72 hole tour in 2026. After cleaning up the LIV hot stove, The Boys resume the Year in Review with a brief stop at TPC Sod Farms for the 3M Open. Scottie, Bryson, and many more golf stars were in attendance at the "Happy Gilmore 2" premiere this week, but no star shined as bright as Kurt Kityama at an Arnold Palmer design. The Kitty Kat held off challengers like Matt Wallace and Jake Knapp to secure his second PGA Tour win, setting the stage for the 1,000th unique winner in Tour history at the Wyndham. The majority of this episode is, naturally, spent remembering a superstar's win at an iconic Donald Ross venue in North Carolina. Cameron Young ran away with the tournament, beating Mac Meissner by six shots to finally win his first PGA Tour event. Joseph and PJ share the best highlights from the crowning of Mr. 1,000, properly giving this American Ryder Cup hero his flowers despite the best efforts of Andy and Brendan to prevent this from happening. The Boys end the show with a new segment called "Receipts Corner," calling out some who believed this day - or Cameron Young's ensuing end-of-season success - would never come. Andy and Brendan will return in 2026 for another year of covering the amusing, inane, and irreverent moments from professional golf.

Murph and his former co-host, Morgan Wright, have a fun but informed review of the original Die Hard, breaking down the legendary Nakatomi Plaza hostage takeover with help from someone who actually knows how this stuff works—Rick Massa, a retired LAPD SWAT officer. Spoiler alert: crawling through air vents barefoot is not standard operating procedure. Whether you're a true crime fan, a law enforcement buff, or someone who just wants to finally settle the debate—is Die Hard a Christmas movie?—this review delivers laughs, insight, and a whole lot of controlled chaos.
