snowpocalypse

Ken and Betsey close out 2022 and Season 3 with a celebration of the Christmas season. Snow begins to fall in Chicago as the two share their reflections and memories. Betsey calls it the onset of "snowpocalypse." President Volodymyr Zelenskyy speaks to a full session of congress in a rare non-partisan display of support for a nation under seige. The two reflect on common themes like "The Reason for the Season"  and "The War on Christmas," memes that miss the history and tradition of celebrations around this Winter Solstice. The two remember their visits to Stonehenge. It would otherwise be a depressing time of year, if not for lights, candles, gift-giving and the story of the most celebrated birth in history - an archetype for the ages. Ken shares his Christmas playlist. They send their wishes to all, believers or not, peace and joy and wonder and love.

The Fina Mendoza Mysteries follow the adventures of the 10-year-old daughter of a congressman, investigating mysteries in the U.S. Capitol.

It's an introduction to snow to those who live in places where snow is a rare event. Our California heroines Fina and her older Sister Gabby try to figure out how you prepare for a blizzard.

Season 2 of The Fina Mendoza Mysteries podcast is based on the book State of the Union, by Kitty Felde, published by Chesapeake Press. You can get an autographed copy of State of the Union, at the website Chesapeakepress.org. That’s also where you can find out more about the cast and crew of The Fina Mendoza Mysteries and a free download of the 56-page Teacher’s Guide to the book and the podcast just by signing up for our newsletter. Every week, that newsletter includes the facts behind the fiction in the Fina Mendoza Mysteries.

Brandon and Matt were gifted this week's topic from Mother Nature.  Next time your snowed inside your home or if you're looking for knowledge to be better prepared next year, the guys have plenty of tips to help you avoid any unwanted freezing in your home.  As a bonus, listen to Brandon and Matt slowly stray from the beaten path as they recount harrowing tales from the land of Canada!

In this episode, which we've properly numbered, we talk about Snowpocalypse, Fled Cruz, falling at work, and CPAC using Nazi imagery at the convention

When the planet is topsy-turvy and it seems like there's very little good in the world, Dropbear and Panda are on the case to find the fun with news, reviews, and ways to save the world that might actually work.

We've been nominated for ‘Outstanding Production in a Series’ by the Canadian Podcast Awards, we discover a strange military tradition in Canada at the handle of a shovel, review both the Underwater movie and 1917, and we're still on a tear to help Australia in whatever way we can.

In this episode, or episodes... we experience a power outage of epic proportions about half way into the show... so a week later when the stars and schedules align, we throw the last half of the show out the window and start a new... on YOUTUBE.

Two shows for the price of one.

No new episode this week, sorry! Snowmageddon 2019 got us real good. Next week we'll be back on track.
