Season’s Eatings – Summer Fruit

What do raisins, candied orange peel, figs, and cherries have to do with Christmas?

More than you might think.

Long before refrigeration and supermarkets, people found ways to capture the sweetness of summer and carry it through the cold winter months.

From medieval monasteries and Mediterranean trade routes to Christmas pudding, fruitcake, and mince pies, we’re uncovering the surprising history of why summer tastes like Christmas.

Season 4, Episode 1 – Yotama Se Va Voldando (Venezuela)

Festive Fans Unite! (send us a message)

The Festive Fans are starting out the fourth season with Venezuela, but we are feeling a bit sheepish.  We love the country but honestly feel like we just showed up with an uninvited guest or were overserved at the Christmas party.  I mean what do you say to a country that your President invaded in the middle night, arrested their President, and now he wants their oil.  It really seems like a social faux pas.  We hate showing up to this episode empty-handed when the featured country has clearly been snubbed.  I mean maybe not wine or chocolate, but an ornament or a poinsettia for the country being fleeced would have been a nice gesture.

To start the new year, we purposely selected Venezuela. Why Venezuela? Season Four should start with a little surprise. And Christmas in Venezuela has plenty of them.  If we’re going to spend another season talking about Christmas, we want to start somewhere where they have food wrapped in plantain leaves, incredible music, and residents roller-skating to church. If you think about it, that’s a pretty difficult opening show to try to beat. Venezuela provides us a strong jumping off point because it sets the tone for what our fourth season is about – discovery and grace.

That’s why Venezuela feels like the perfect place to begin. There are plenty of other people willing to talk about governments, raids, and everything bad that happens between countries. We like to talk about more important things, like Christmas. It is a tradition shared by people around the world, but every country brings its own history, food, music, faith, and local customs to the holiday.  Venezuela?  It gives us a colorful, meaningful, and surprising place to begin this journey.  For one episode, at least, we can put our politics aside and discover how Venezuelan families celebrate. This gives us a chance to laugh, learn, eat, and talk about roller skates. The world has enough political podcasts.  Let’s go find Christmas!

Pink Panther & Sons “Insanity Claus” (w/ Jeff and Jeremy)

What’s up, dudes? It’s Christmas in July, and apparently Santa is getting a serious head start on his deliveries! The Rainbow Panthers are seeing red—and white—when the big guy himself drops by in Pink Panther and Sons “Insanity Claus!” Yes, Panky believes in Santa, even when everyone else thinks he’s completely crackers! I’ve got Jeff Loftin from Lost Christmas and Alamo City Santa Jeremy Phelps with me to talk all about it!

Pinky, Panky, and the Rainbow Panthers are having a slumber party when a mysterious stranger comes down the chimney. It’s Santa Claus! There’s just one little problem: it’s July! Santa claims he’s getting an early start on Christmas, but the Panthers aren’t buying it. Everyone assumes the jolly old elf is actually a burglar in disguise—everyone, that is, except Panky!

Determined to protect Santa, Panky tries to hide him from his suspicious friends. Unfortunately, the would-be Kris Kringle is eventually discovered and hauled off to jail! Panky insists they’ve arrested the real Santa Claus, and despite everyone thinking he’s been duped, the little panther refuses to give up. Sure enough, the gang eventually discovers that Panky was right all along. Santa really was getting a jump on Christmas!

Christmas in July? Check. Santa breaking and entering? Got it. Kris Kringle in the clink? Only until Panky proves that sometimes you’ve just gotta believe! So grab your sleeping bag, keep an eye on the chimney, and don’t call the cops on Santa as we go completely Christmas crazy with Pink Panther and Sons “Insanity Claus!”

Fast Times at Ridgemont High (w/ Michael, Scott & Tim)

What’s up, dudes? What are you people? On dope?! I’ve got Michael May from After Lunch, Crestwood House, and Hellbent for Letterbox, Scott Leopold from Holly Jolly X’masu, and Tim Williams from 80’s Flick Flashback are with me to talk the Christmas-adjacent movie “Fast Times at Ridgemont High!”

Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) follows a group of Southern California teenagers as they stumble through a school year filled with first jobs, romance, sex, friendship, and the everyday humiliations of being young. At the center is Stacy Hamilton, a shy sophomore who begins exploring dating and relationships with encouragement from her more experienced friend Linda Barrett. Meanwhile, Stacy’s older brother Brad watches his seemingly perfect life unravel after losing his job and his girlfriend, while Stacy’s awkward friend Mark “Rat” Ratner tries to work up the nerve to pursue her. Their stories unfold against the backdrop of Ridgemont High and the local mall, capturing teenage life with a mix of raunchy comedy and surprising sincerity.

The film’s most memorable character, however, is perpetually stoned surfer Jeff Spicoli, whose laid-back attitude puts him in constant conflict with stern history teacher Mr. Hand. While Spicoli dreams of surfing and Van Halen, the other students gradually discover that adulthood is arriving faster than they expected—and it comes with consequences. By the end, relationships have shifted, friendships have been tested, and several characters have grown up at least a little. Directed by Amy Heckerling and written by Cameron Crowe, “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” became a defining teen comedy of the 1980s, balancing outrageous moments and endlessly quotable humor with a remarkably grounded look at the uncertainty, mistakes, and small victories of adolescence.

Forgotten wallet? Check. Santa who got peed on? Poor kid. Most paused movie scene ever? You know you did! So grab your surfboard, put on your pirate costume, and scalp some tickets to this episode!
