Ainsi commence le temps de Noël, un temps d'hiver, de patinage, mais surtout de générosité. Ecoute donc l'histoire de la famille Brinker…

Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates by Mary Mapes Dodge audiobook. Mary Mapes Dodge created an instant bestseller with "Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates." She wanted the book to be partly a book of travels and partly a domestic story. It is a tale written for children that adults also find interesting and uplifting. Dodge writes as if she is sending a series of letters from Holland to children in America, and her you-are-there perspective is aided by a nice attention to detail and vivid imagery. The Brinkers are a poor but stoic family under a dark cloud - Raff, the man of the house, fell from the dikes while reinforcing them during a bad storm, and for ten years he has been in a vegetative state. With no steady income, the family's lot is grinding poverty. Despite their unfortunate circumstances, Hans and Gretel are cheerful children, yet always attentive to the needs of their mother and their present-but-not-really-there father. Their social standing is very low, but they both attract firm friends, even among the gentry, for their honesty, industry, and good-heartedness. Then a glorious skating race is proposed for the town of Broek, with the prize a pair of silver skates for both the winning boy and girl. In the weeks leading up to the race, we follow the adventures of five of the local boys who are showing a visiting relative from England the sights of the Netherlands. Hans improbably meets the one man who might be able to heal his father, and somehow Hans finds a way to afford some skates so that he and Gretel can enter the race. This all leads up to a dramatic, moving, and entirely satisfactory conclusion. "Hans Brinker" hits a series of high notes and encourages children to cultivate and display their finer qualities.

Based on the memoir, 'Truth and Duty: The Press, the President, and the Privilege of Power' by Mary Mapes, James Vanderbilt’s 'Truth' is a behind-the-curtain retelling of the happenings that occurred at 60 Minutes II in 2004. Essentially, Mapes ran a team of reporters to uncover a story regarding George W. Bush’s time in the National Guard. At the film’s heart are the consequences of the relationship between Dan Rather (Robert Redford) and Mary Mapes (Cate Blanchett). Despite your opinion on the news story, Vanderbilt insists that his 'Truth' is a film rather than a documentary. In this interview, Vanderbilt discusses building a career, the unknowable center and how to shift genres. Stay up-to-date on other creative advice at www.creativeprinciples.live

In this week's Movie Date podcast, Rafer and Kristen review two movies about politics, one about zombies, and another about a very mean chef. The first political film is called "Our Brand is Crisis," and it centers on a campaign consultant (Sandra Bullock) who goes to Bolivia to help a candidate and fight her biggest rival. The second political film is called "Truth," and it's about the real 60 Minutes story in 2004 that questioned George W. Bush's military record, and brought down the careers of Mary Mapes and Dan Rather in the process. "Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse" is a horror comedy directed by the son of Michael Landon (yes, that Michael Landon). "Burnt" is about horrible man (Bradley Cooper) who happens to be a talented chef (this review is in the form of a parody radio play, so be ready for some sound effects!). And as always, there's trivia!
