46 - Badlands Christmas Special: The Ethics of Christmas
Dec 20, 2019
The Badlands

In this episode, we (half-seriously) debate the ethics of Christmas. Is Christmas, on the whole, a good thing or a bad thing? Does the uptick in charitable giving outweigh the explosion in consumption? Does Christmas ruin gift-giving? Does the fostering of community justify Christmas ham? Is the celebration of Christmas an act of cultural appropriation? And who has the better ham story?
Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes, Hanna Gunn
