What happens when you combine end-of year reflection, Unity metaphysics, and the principles of Kwanzaa? Some might expect a clash of traditions; but we know it is the convergence of deep and practical spiritual Truth. This final Sunday of 2025 gives us an opportunity to notice how collective intention shapes individual lives -- and how individual healing uplifts the whole. Guided by Dr. Tracy Brown we will celebrate our victories, release patterns that block our future, and prepare ourselves to rise together to reach new heights in 2026.

This week we discuss the esteemed Maulana Karenga and his creation of a holiday, Kwanzaa. We also discuss Lent, high school and the great bastion of opportunistic capitalism, Hallmark.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!I forgot to post last week's episode, so you get a DOUBLE FEATURE.After learning about Kwanzaa, let's learn about a gambling royal whackadoo. This week the Troika begins their multi-party foray into Lord Lucan himself, Richard John Bingham. While Ryan and the Other Steve bitch about Poker being chance vs. skill, Steve tells the tale of gambling and wealth. Enjoy!

This is the first day of Kwanzaa, a celebration of African American culture and heritage along with seven guiding principles, such as unity, purpose, and self-determination. Light the kinara with us as we share some of our favorite Kwanzaa memories from our annual Colorado Matters Holiday Extravaganzas! Plus, my conversation from August with Denver musical artist Such, whose passion to help others has been a guiding principle in her life. 

The first Kwanzaa was celebrated on this day in 1966. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On the first day of Kwanzaa (Umoja/Unity), Producer Emeritus, Judy Barkum returns to get listeners ready for a poignant Kwanzaa celebration in the wake of numerous efforts to hide, diminish, and erase historical contributions of African Americans by the MAGA Regime and a Christmas Day attack in Nigeria is the latest in a series of numerous questionable US military actions .

Toledo's long-time organizer of Kwanzaa, Diane Gordon, has passed the torch to her grandson, Rodney. They talked together about the meaning of the African American holiday.

A CPR tradition turns 10 this year. The Colorado Matters Holiday Extravaganza returns with bluegrass, mariachi, comedy and storytime. And as always, we pay homage to Judy Garland. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or simply value togetherness, this audio gift is for you! 

For the holidays, we're re-running some of our very favorite holiday-themed episodes! It's hard not to feel like we've got to be doing ALL the things at the holidays, especially when social media tells us we should be. Here are some tips for taking perspective at the holidays and operating in "high magic, low effort" mode. We discuss: pre-gaming with your (older) kids about the preferred responses to less-preferred gifts starting with what family members really do love most about the holidays (their answers will surprise you) why you don't have to go the Nutcracker, or lights at the zoo, or Aunt Martha's house, this year, let alone every year Rosie Colosi for Today Parents: ⁠⁠Moms are challenging the idea that they are the sole keepers of holiday ‘magic'⁠⁠ SNL's "Christmas Morning" sketch: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOVCtUdaMCU⁠ ⁠Read all of our listeners' great advice on the original Facebook thread⁠... and here, as promised, is Amy's recipe for the⁠ Italian pepper cookies⁠ that seem to be unique to northeast Pennsylvania... Italian Pepper Cookies (makes about 72 cookies, more if they're small) 1/2 cup Crisco  2 cups of milk or water (or more if needed) If dough is really sticky you can add a little bit more of milk 1/2 lb. raisins  1 cup cocoa 2 1/2 cups sugar 4 tbsp. baking powder 7 cups of flour (add more if needed) 1 1/2 tsps. cinnamon 1 1/2 tsps. cloves (not whole) 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1 1/2 tsps. black pepper (if you don't want them too spicy, you can cut back on the pepper, I never do though) Optional, you can add nuts or I've seen people add chocolate chips too. We aren't big nut eaters, so I've never made them with nuts. Preheat oven to 375 Cream sugar and Crisco together in a bowl  In a different bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients. Add sifted dry ingredients to creamed sugar and Crisco alternately with milk. Mix well. It will be very sticky, it's easier to work with your hands. I usually coat my hands with some Pam to be able to work the dough. Add your raisins and mix it up more.  Using your hands, take enough dough to roll a small ball (my mom likes them big, I like them smaller) Place cookie balls on your cookie trays (I usually fit around 16 on a tray, all depends on the size of your cookie balls)  Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes. Icing: 2 cups confectioner's sugar 1 to 2 tablespoons milk 1/2 teaspoon butter splash vanilla For icing: Mix together all ingredients, adding milk until achieving creamy consistency, not stiff. When cookies are slightly cooled, top with icing. Sign up for the What Fresh Hell newsletter!

In this holiday edition of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B is joined by super producer A-King and journalist Jayson Rodriguez for a layered, reflective conversation unpacking the cultural, emotional, and commercial realities of the holiday season. The episode opens with a warm introduction to the holidays and the shifting energy that comes with this time of year [00:00], setting the tone for a discussion rooted in nostalgia, cultural awareness, and modern-day realities. The hosts reflect on childhood Christmas memories and past holiday crazes, revisiting the toys, traditions, and moments that defined earlier eras [02:47], before examining how Christmas hits differently in adulthood—especially when navigating single life, expectations, and social pressure during the season [06:05]. From there, the conversation expands into cultural perspectives on how Christmas is celebrated across communities, highlighting both shared traditions and meaningful differences [08:56]. A deeper historical lens is applied as the crew breaks down the origins and evolution of Christmas, unpacking how religion, capitalism, and culture have reshaped the holiday over time [12:05]. That history connects directly to a discussion on Christmas crazes, consumer trends, and the role of marketing, questioning what gets lost when tradition becomes transactional [14:57]. The symbolism of Santa Claus and cultural identity is also explored, challenging how myths are constructed and who they are designed to serve [18:07]. As the episode progresses, the conversation turns toward historical revisionism and dominant cultural narratives, examining how certain stories are amplified while others are erased [37:37]. This naturally leads into a candid discussion about Black identity, the African American experience, and cultural inclusion during the holidays [39:34], followed by a thoughtful breakdown of Kwanzaa as a cultural alternative that emphasizes community, heritage, and self-determination [42:58]. Lighter moments balance the depth as the hosts touch on sports as part of holiday traditions [46:35], before diving into the timeless role of Christmas movies and holiday music in shaping seasonal mood and memory [54:41]. The conversation then turns to celebrity commentary and controversies surrounding Christmas, highlighting how public figures influence cultural debates during the season [01:00:51]. As the episode winds down, Mandii, A-King, and Jayson discuss the realities of navigating family plans and emotional boundaries during the holidays [01:01:19], along with the often-overlooked workplace dynamics, expectations, and burnout that come with end-of-year professional life [01:05:36]. The episode closes with reflective energy, positioning the holiday season as both a moment of pause and a bridge into the new year ahead.

As we enter the Annual Kwanzaa/Christmas/New Year two week corridor, Session 302 of In Class With Carr centers on the meaning of naming, framing, and narrative as sites of Governance, self-determination and collective power. Drawing on Carter Godwin Woodson's “Much Ado About a Name” essay in his 1933 book “The Miseducation of the Negro,” this week we use our Africana Studies Framework to reflect on, subjects such as Kwanzaa, Black Nationalism, and Pan-Africanism, emphasizing content and context, distinguishing Social Structure from Governance questions in order to empower community-centered knowledge. Rejecting both narrowly-framed academic framings and superficial efforts to rename and redirect the potential of collective power, we use this season of reflection and gratitude to remind ourselves of frameworks that support action, intergenerational learning and expectations, and movement-building rooted in ourselves.Are you a member of Knarrative?

For incarcerated people and their families, the holidays are the most painful time of year. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, host Mansa Musa and TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speak frankly about what it's like to be locked up during the holidays, why inmate suicides, violence, and depression spike this time of year, and about the life-saving and society-improving steps we can take this holiday season to help prisoners maintain contact with the outside world.C/W: Discussion of suicide and depression Producer / Videographer / Post-Production: Cameron GranadinoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Shoutout to the Hanukkah and Kwanzaa gerls, you deserve your own shine. Christmas is doing too much, so hear me out… let's move the holidays.

Merry Christmas, everybody! The last day of our Culkin Keatmas is upon us, and with it, our final gift to you.  Jim and I break down the Star Wars Holiday Special and take it for all it's worth.  Wookiee porn, deeply unfunny instructional videos, ill-fitting helmets, and hours of uncaptioned Wookiee dialog are considered and de-coded but we're still left with the big question... Why?  Since all involved have disowned the project we may never know.  But whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Life Day or any other tradition that aims to turn the coldest, darkest part of the year into something more, you are in our thoughts, and you have our gratitude for all the love and support you've shown us this past year.  We'll see you in 2018!
