The main task of Just FYI Pod: Culture's second season is to discuss "Ten Novels That Changed Our Lives." But today my cohost Amy Welborn and I have something else in mind. With Christmas fast approaching, we have decided to discuss our favorite Christmas movies—an extension of our December 2023 analysis of Frank Capra's 1946 classic It's A Wonderful Life and Billy Wilder's 1960 romantic comedy The Apartment (see the link below).
Yet, before digging into that topic, we begin by catching up on a few hot-button news items, including the strange drones in New Jersey (and what that story really means) plus Cardinal Blase Cupich's controversial December 2024 column " As We Pray...'". So please do join us, whether you're out and about doing last-minute Christmas shopping, in your kitchen prepping the "roast beast," or just sitting by the fire and sipping on a mug of mulled wine.
You can listen to the pod right here on Substack, or you can access it via Spotify and/or Apple Podcasts, both of which are linked below (along with my absolutely comprehensive [trust me!] Christmas playlist on Spotify). No matter what, please subscribe for free today. As always, your generosity and support are much appreciated! Please consider following, liking, rating, and sharing our work.
