Rivka and Frank close out the year with a final “holiday duet” on the Christmas classic Miracle on 34th Street. They debate whether Kris Kringle is in fact the REAL Santa or just the world's greatest salesman. Released during the second Red Scare, it's unsurprising that the film's core moral is the need for “altruistic capitalism.” But is it OK to allow a potentially unwell old man around thousands of children? As long as he's making money — who cares, it turns out! Don't get us wrong, we both love this movie but HOLY SHIT this story is wild.  MVC will be off until 2025, but we'll be back with an episode on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

He's got the stories to prove it!   So, join Jay Reum and Todd Kramer as they take a deep dive into Steven's workshop to uncover the magic, the mischief, and the joy he brings to children around the world—and find out how one man makes a living playing Father Christmas when all he ever gets paid in is milk and cookies.

A 4-PART BORDERLAND SPECIAL SERIES: EPISODE 2: THE CULT OF SANTA MUERTE On the southern border, there is a legal concept known as “reasonable fear.” If an asylum officer determines that a migrant has a “reasonable fear of persecution or torture” if returned to their home country, then removal procedures can be delayed. And, in the current border crisis, there's been no greater source of “reasonable fear” cases than the Mexican drug cartels and organized crime.  In each episode we take a deep dive into the border crisis to find the primary players behind the violence, the scope of these transnational criminal enterprises, and the state of the narco wars. In this episode, host Vince ‘Rocoo' Vargas, takes a deep dive into the Santa Muerte religious movement. Check out the REASONABLE FEAR S.E.C.

SANTA CLAUSE VS SANTA JESUS- WILL THE REAL SANTA PLEASE STAND   HOW DO WE TELL THE REAL SANTA? ( Santa= righteous and holy) Both Santas are jolly. Both Santas love children. Both Santas give good gifts. Both Santas can fly. Both Santas have an expected return. Both Santas have people looking for their appearing. Both Santas have a massive group of servants. And both Santas love you unconditionally. Whoops- hold it a minute. If I remember right, Santa Claus will love you and give you gifts if you're nice. However, if you are naughty, heaven help you. And here's where Santa "Jesus" comes in. With the real Santa Jesus Christ, love is not conditional. Romans 8 declares that there is nothing that will cause Jesus to stop loving you. Plus- you received his love even before you loved him. Santa Claus never gave his life to redeem you from death. Jesus did! Santa Claus never rose from the dead to give you the gift of eternal life. Jesus did! Santa Claus never went to your heavenly Father to prepare a place for you to dwell with him forever. Jesus did! The real Santa is already standing. Jesus Christ is standing in defense of you before the Father's throne as an intercessor and defending your righteous position in the family of God against your accuser. His love is eternal. It will never end.  Forget about the Santa that will give you a "piece of coal" when you miss a step or miss the mark. Jesus Christ gives forgiveness and righteousness. Well, that sells it for me. I cast my vote for the actual gift giver, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who came from the Father in heaven to give you the greatest gift of all. He gave himself as the blood sacrifice that redeemed you from the grip of death and brought you back to your heavenly Father's heart where you belong. Welcome home!

St Nicholas was a Greek bishop, known for his generosity. But he didn't have a beard, and he didn't drive a sleigh - so how did he morph into the Santa Claus the world knows and loves? The supposed date of his death - 3rd December, 343 - may have a lot to do with it… Then there's the miracles. In the most famous story associated with St Nick, he anonymously leaves some gold coins in the house of a poor family to give the daughters a dowry and swerve them away from sex work, which is how he became the patron saint of pawnbrokers and prostitutes. Ho Ho Ho! In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how this austere-looking bald man from Turkey merged with the European traditions of Father Christmas; consider why the spread of Protestantism curiously helped St Nick stick out from his saintly brethren; and explain why his leaky corpse has a lot to answer for…   Further Reading: • ‘The History of How St. Nicholas Became Santa Claus' (National Geographic, 2018): https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/131219-santa-claus-origin-history-christmas-facts-st-nicholas?loggedin=true&rnd=1699449547934 • ‘Saint Nicholas' (The Guardian, 2004): https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2004/dec/24/christmas.religion • ‘The Real Saint Nick Is a Far Cry From the Santa We Know' (NBC Nightly News, 2015): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP5K0msxIqg Love the show?

Santa Claus is surely one of the most beloved figures of modern times. But did you know that he was perhaps even more beloved long before he acquired a fur-trimmed red suit, a big round belly, and nine flying reindeer to pull his sleigh? Believe it or not, the jolly Old St. Nick we know and love today actually took more than 1,600 years to develop! For many years, one of our family's Christmas traditions has been a retelling of the history behind the colors and symbols of Christmas. Each year we start with the color green and the symbol of the Christmas tree, then we move on to the color red and Santa Claus. Santa really is a fascinating historical tale, one that starts small and then builds and builds and builds! I hope you enjoy learning the story as much as we enjoy rehearsing it each year! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here are some additional resources for you that can enrich the history of Santa Claus: Patara, birthplace of Nicholas (via Google Maps) St. Nicholas Center: The Story of the Three Daughters Voice of the Martyrs: The Persecution of St. Nicholas BeliefNet: St. Nicholas Resurrects Pickled Boys!

It's a core human desire to be seen and I am thrilled to be joined by author, on-air host and truth-teller Nancy Redd to discuss the importance of REPRESENTATION. Nancy has been slaying taboos and normalizing stories that traditionally exist in the margins for as long as I have known her from her first book, BODY DRAMA, giving real answers about real bodies to real girls (and her follow up, DIET DRAMA), to her highly highly-acclaimed picture book BEDTIME BONNET to her newest picture book, The Real Santa, released in October and currently available everywhere.  The Real Santa is a joyous tale celebrating identity, family and holiday cheer about a Black family's journey to discover what the real Santa looks like. Called "the perfect combination of style and substance" by Essence magazine, Nancy, a former Miss Virginia, holds an honors degree in women's studies from Harvard University. This dynamic woman offers incredible insight into her creative process and the importance of representation in imagery, stories, and media to humanize our vast experiences.
