This week, we explore the diverse pre- and early- Christian traditions that have lent themselves to our modern understanding and celebration of the Christmas Holiday. We talk about how those traditions have combined to create the modern holiday that is celebrated by billions of all faiths today, and how much 'Christ' there really is in Christmas to begin with.   Please consider joining our Patreon to provide material support as we work on our Easter episode: www.patreon.com/leftunread   Follow us: @leftunreadpod @gluten_yung @poorfidalgo   Email us: [email protected]   Theme music courtesy of the inimitable Interesting Times Gang: www.itgang.bandcamp.com   Happy Holidays LU Fam!

This week we discuss the blooming relationship between Donald J. Trump and New York Mayor-Elect Zohran K. Mamdani. Is it love...or something more pragmatic? We also talk about our love for rock and roll music, and the impending AI bubble burst.

This week we took some time to catch up on current events which have transpired since our last unscripted recording, including the recent NYC Mayoral Election which saw Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani crush Andrew 'The Sex Pest' Cuomo in all but one borough. I think we all know which one was the holdout. Cam and Evan take time to discuss their particular views on the role of electoral politics in a socialist project and whether it cans till be useful to take part knowing the limitations inherent.
