Podcasts about Scrooge

MSNBC's Ari Melber hosts The Beat on Monday, May 5th, and reports on the economy and rule of law under the second Trump administration, as well as RFK Jr.'s recent actions with respect to the Department of Health and Human Services. Caleb Silver, Eugene Robinson, Joyce Vance, and R.J. Cutler join.

Trump 2.0 is showing so little concern for his political standing that even Fox made primetime room for Karl Rove to vent about how he's failing at the fundamentals. Our aspiring Gaddafi doesn't care that tariffs aren't popular or that he sounds like Mr. Scrooge when he says kids should have fewer toys. And while belt-tightening is good enough for average Americans, he's throwing himself a giant, ostentatious military parade that will cost tens of millions of dollars. Plus, conservatives in the Anglosphere take another hit, this time down under—and thumbs-up for Maine Gov. Janet Mills, thumbs-down for Gretchen Whitmer.  Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller. show notes Today's "Morning Shots" Jonathan's recent newsletter on Gretchen Whitmer The Atlantic's recent interview with Trump (gifted)

Tonight on The Last Word: Americans sour on Donald Trump's tariffs and his handling of the economy. Also, the Trump tariff chaos upends a Canadian election. Plus, Trump fails to deliver his promised end to Vladimir Putin's war. And Democrats look to campaign on the chaos of Trump's first 100 days in office. Catherine Rampell, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Amb. Michael McFaul, and Rep. Angie Craig join Lawrence O'Donnell.

Gezien Disney geen echte paasverhalen heeft verfilmd, springen we vooruit naar de mooiste tijd van het jaar. Comedian en tv-maker Lukas Lelie heeft een haast ongezonde passie voor ‘A Christmas Carol' van de Britse schrijver Charles Dickens. (Passie, Matteüspassie, Mattheuseffect: zo wordt het toch de meest logische paasspecial.) Na een zware tegenslag rond kerst vorig jaar, besloot hij te investeren in een eigenaardige collectie: dvd's van verfilmingen van zijn favoriete kerstverhaal. In de verzameling versies van onder meer Barbie, The Flintstones en Doctor Who, allicht het gevolg van het publieke domein. Maar dus ook drie van Disney: ‘A Christmas Carol' (2009) met Jim Carrey als Ebenezer Scrooge, ‘The Muppet Christmas Carol' (1992) met Michael Caine als Scrooge en ‘Mickey's Christmas Carol' (1983) met Scrooge McDuck als… Scrooge. We hebben het over de vergane glorie van motion capture, tijdreizen in de films van Robert Zemeckis en een vreemde bijsluiter in een educatieve Disney-dvd. We weiden uit over Russische rip-offs, een goedkope versie met Kate Winslet en een geniale met Will Ferrell en Ryan Reynolds. We beloven elkaar om elkaars graf te bezoeken, afhankelijk van wie eerst komt te gaan. Lukas getuigt ook over zijn andere verslaving (cola zero), praat over het genie Dikkie Dik en doet twee belangwekkende oproepen. (Let op: de meest bangmakende content in deze afleveringen wordt in de post-credit volwaardig geduid door een expert.)

Eric rages against the heat, and old people picking bread. Plus, like Scrooge, he learns the error of his ways, and changes.

The crew dives face-first into the deep end of personal grooming—specifically, why Kid's contemplating taking a weed whacker to his gooch while the gang debates if a hairy sweater is a fashion statement or a cry for help.  They pivot to Sex and the City hot takes, probably roasting Carrie's shoe obsession while sipping whiskey, then splash into the wet-and-wild world of squirting—because nothing says “classy podcast” like a debate about bedroom hydraulics and knocking pictures off the wall.  St. Patty's Day rolls in with tales of drunken sexcapades so sloppy they end with someone passing out in a bar bathroom, face-down in a puddle of Guinness and regret. The gang confesses to stumbling out after one too many, puking in alleys, tipping like Scrooge on a bad day, and cackling at their buddies' expense—because if you can't mock your friends, who can you mock? Deal with it, snowflakes. Oh, and plot twist: El Pres used to shake it as a stripper while his mom a strip empire—talk about a family business with extra sparkle!  The crew plays the age-difference game, pondering the perfect dating age gap: too young and you're babysitting, too old and you're dodging denture kisses. They cap it off with a fiery rant about real friends—those glorious bastards who call you out on your screw-ups versus the spineless schmucks who just nod and smile while you crash and burn. Tune in, laugh hard, and Go Deep, you magnificent fucktards.

Ezekiel | If These Walls | Pastor Chris Heller Ezekiel 8 : 1-11 : 25 This week we will continue our Ezekiel series as he is called up by God in a vision that takes him through the temple. God shows Ezekiel in a scene that is reminiscent of something like Scrooge in the Christmas Carol, of what is going on behind closed doors. Israel's sacrilegious sin is being seen by God, and he exposes it to Ezekiel to confront.  Join us as we gain insight into the God who sees everything, and how we can best live in light of that truth.

John's currently penning something which will change global culture. But what if we lift the bonnet of his genius? That is what we find out on today's show.For in that bonce is a V8 plucking words from the ether with such vim and vigour, and combining those words to make phrases, clauses and sentences. Word constructs which then combine to make reflections and musings that will make people go “huh, that's profound” like nothing before.The ease with which John hammers out words at such a pace would make Jilly Cooper, professional blush causer, blush. Pages churned out with an efficiency that if this were Bob Cratchit doing office based tasks then Scrooge would offer him a raise.Elsewhere, there is combat over the combativeness of features and where the blame for that lies, whilst once again Elis is unreasonably put under time pressure to think of things. Plus, have you ever just snogged someone constantly for an hour?If you'd like to pen your own novellas (emails / texts) then get in touch through elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp.

Valerie and I take a scalpel to some well loved movies this season. First there was the Nightmare Before Christmas and now Sleepless in Seattle. I'm not a believer in ‘magic love' so I find the premise of the movie silly, but there are some good examples of tension. However, under the microscope of Valerie's 4 Story Questions, this movie is lacking in some fundamental storytelling scaffolding. Without clear wants there isn't anything meaningful at stake. The take away - the story could be better. There, I said it. I am the Scrooge of Valentine's Day. -M"Tension is the anticipation that something is going to happen." - Melanie HillRelated Story Nerd EpisodesThe Accidental Tourist (Season 5, Episode 503)Crazy Stupid Love (Season 13, Episode  1304)Season 5 - Shapes of Stories + ResonanceSeason 7 - Character Dimension + Worldbuilding For access to writing templates and worksheets, and more than 70 hours of training (all for free), subscribe to Valerie's Inner Circle.To learn to read like a writer, visit Melanie's website.Follow Valerie on Instagram and Threads @valerie_francisFollow Melanie on X, Instagram and Facebook @MelanieHillAuthor

Spencer Klavan, author of “Light of the Mind, Light of the World,” issues a powerful call to action for Christians in America: stop refuting, start asserting. Meaning, Christians no longer need to refute The Left's materialist idea that humans are merely atomic matter. Instead, we must assert that we believe in something greater: a God-given spirit that enriches our lives. The question is, how do we unlock the fruits of that spirit? Spencer and I hope to shed some light on this question. - - -  Today's Sponsor: ExpressVPN - Get up to 4 Months FREE of ExpressVPN: https://expressvpn.com/klavan

This Christmas, the cold streets of Victorian London collide with the fiery depths of Hell in a chilling reimagining of a classic tale. Jacob Marley, the tormented ghost doomed to carry the chains of his earthly sins, is summoned by a sinister demon to deliver a haunting message to his former partner, Ebenezer Scrooge. But as Marley confronts the sins of his past, he discovers that redemption is not within his grasp—and that Hell's games are far crueler than he could have ever imagined. A story of despair, darkness, and the twisted contrast between holiday joy and eternal torment, "The Christmas Misadventure of Marley's Ghost" reveals the untold side of Scrooge's haunting—a side where hope is fleeting, and salvation is nothing more than a cruel joke. This is not the feel-good Christmas story you thought you knew.

“If you grow up with it, religion is real until you realize it is also imagined. And after a period of disenchantment or even depression that associates imagination with lies, you might then sense that the imagined part was also real, but because it's imagined, you know you can change it.” Matthew reflects on how Santa becomes more real in the home after the kids know he's just a story, but a story of unbridled love and causeless generosity they can now participate in telling.

Ebenezer Scrooge is a classic Christmas tale, a tragic character who lets his insatiable desire for money blind him to the circumstances of the people around him -- particularly his employees -- and the spirit of the Christmas holiday. He didn't even seem to enjoy spending his wealth, only the accumulation of it. While Scrooge is not a good role model for generosity or charity, he did always pay his bills on time.   Next Christmas you can give yourself a bill, or rather give yourself a bill now, and every month between now and next Christmas! Think of the things you want to buy and do next Christmas (not just gifts, but travel and cooking) and add up how much you think you'll spend. Divide it by twelve, and that's your bill to be paid each month between now and December 25, 2025. Then you can spend your money in a way Scrooge never could -- on gifts and family and generosity.   Merry Christmas!   Tickets to YNAB Fan Fest 2025 are on sale now!

The Ghost of Christmas Future reveals the appalling events that will happen if Scrooge doesn't become a kinder man. Tiny Tim will die, and so will Scrooge, though no one will mourn him. Scrooge begs the Ghost for a chance to put things right.

The Ghost of Christmas Present shows Scrooge how Christmas should be celebrated – with joy and giving, even when you are poor, like Scrooge's own kindly clerk Bob Cratchit.

The Ghost of Christmas Past visits Scrooge and takes him back to his own childhood. He's reminded that he was shown kindness as a young man, and had even been in love, before his greed took over.

Ebenezer Scrooge hates Christmas with a passion. To him, it's all a waste of time and money. But when he's visited by the ghost of his dead business partner, the equally greedy Jacob Marley, Scrooge begins to understand the error of his ways.

The Muppets perform the classic Dickens holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine). Other Muppets -- Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear and Sam the Eagle -- weave in and out of the story, while Scrooge receives visits from spirits of three Christmases -- past, present and future. They show him the error of his self-serving ways, but the miserable old man seems to be past any hope of redemption and happiness.

This week, the guys team up for an atheist review of The Gospel According to Scrooge, in which Dickens' classic tale of redemption gets a lot more Jesus crammed into its margins. On stage. With music. Sung badly. --- If you'd like to make a per episode donation and get monthly bonus episodes, please check us out on Patreon: http://patreon.com/godawful Check out our other shows, The Scathing Atheist, The Skepticrat, Citation Needed, and D&D Minus.

Christmas wasn't always a national shopping spree — or even a day off work. But in 19th-century London, it went viral. When Charles Dickens published A Christmas Carol, the book's tale of miserly Scrooge and the ghosts that transformed him transformed the holiday too, especially in the U.S.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

‘Tis the season for Tizzle to get everyone (and their brother) a Bluetooth speaker! While Tish isn't feeling the holiday spirit quite like she used to—back when the whole fam-bam would gather together—there's still nothing quite like a Cyrus Christmas.   In this festive solo episode, Tish and Brandi reminisce about Christmases past and share how things have changed now that everyone is older. Their family would make the perfect Christmas movie, with Dom as Scrooge, insisting there's no Santa, and Miley spreading the magic with stockings for every animal she owns (yes, even her fish). But who would play Tish on the big screen? Don't worry, she'll spill.   They also dive into their favorite (and not-so-favorite) Cyrus family traditions, like Brandi's beloved buttery mashed potatoes and their synchronized holiday dances. They share stories about the best and worst gifts they've ever given, low-budget gift ideas that don't suck, and why Brandi's on the naughty list this year (no gifts for her!).   From White Elephant disasters to questionable boyfriend gift-giving advice, this holiday special is packed with all the cheer (and chaos) you need to get through the season. So grab your hot cocoa (or your beverage of choice), and settle in—this is one holiday hang you won't want to miss!  Don't forget to rate, review, and follow the show!
