Veterans of Culture Wars 008: The Darkest Time of Year: Christmas Music for the Trump Era
This episode is dedicated to the memory of Jeremy Cooper.
Zach has a Christmas record out on vinyl! Dave interviews his co-host about his Christmas album while chatting about how Evangelicals approach Christmas, how the message of Christmas is the opposite of the pursuit of political power and Zach's influences in recording his album.

CORRECTION: In the discussion, Dave openly asks about the Baptist pastor who wrote "Twas the Night Before Christmas." This was not written by a Baptist pastor. The author of the famous poem is credited as Clement Clarke Moore, an Episcopalian as well as a writer and professor. The poem first appeared on December 23, 1823 in the newspaper with no name attached. There is controversy over authorship as the family of Henry Livingston, Jr claimed that their father had recited to them the poem 15 years before it was published in the paper.
