Merry Christmas and the Mystery of the Missing Color of the Year Episode

Send us Fan Mail This Christmas-day mini episode is a warm holiday check‑in rather than a full installment. The hosts pause regular programming on December 25, 2025 to wish listeners a Merry Christmas, acknowledging that many are spending the day with friends and family, working essential jobs, or maybe even heading to a movie theater instead of a big gathering. They invite anyone who feels alone—or just wants some company while commuting or cooking—to revisit past episodes, suggesting their November 21, 2024 episode “Under the Auspices of I Hate Talking, a New Podcast Appears” and the January 23, 2025 synesthesia episode as especially fun listens tied to favorite colors and how blue and teal often top the global “favorite color” lists.​They also clear up a mystery from the previous episode: there never actually was a dedicated “Color of the Year 2024” episode, even though one host was sure they’d recorded it; instead, they had only researched Pantone and color popularity while preparing the earlier color-themed discussion. The update wraps with a quick programming note—no full New Year’s episode either, with regular weekly episodes scheduled to resume on January 8, 2026—and a final Christmas wish from their family to everyone listening.
