EP#21 - Christmas, Consumerism and Commercialism

from Twenty Somethings · host Sound Pollination

On this week's Layovers episode, Keith and Grant get in their holiday spirit the only way they know how - by being bah humbugs! Critiquing Christmas sounds harsh, we know, but bear with us - we discuss the good and the bad, swerving our Christmas sleigh from Capitalism through the lens of the big dude in the red suit to our desire to see new workplace incentives for volunteer opportunities that are oh so prominent thru the holidays. Tune in for an awesome and unique look at holiday cheer, and have a great holiday!
