The U.S. is in the midst of a loneliness epidemic. And for a lot of people, the feeling is even more pronounced during the holidays. In addition to its emotional impact, chronic loneliness and social isolation have some dramatic health consequences: increased risk of heart disease and stroke, infections, cancer, even premature death. Recent research also suggests that loneliness can change the way people process the world. So today on the show, host Regina G. Barber talks to Rachel Carlson about the neuroscience of loneliness.

The Daily Signal - History of Hanukkah: Celebrating Victory of ‘Light Over Darkness’
The history of Hanukkah traces back to a military victory for the Jewish people over their enemies more than 2,000 years ago. The Jews defeated the Greek army in the Maccabean Revolt, making way for the Jewish people to also rededicate the temple in Jerusalem to God.
The victory celebrated on “Hanukkah is twofold,” Rabbi Pinchas Taylor says. “On the one hand, it celebrates a military victory, but perhaps [the] even more important victory was this ideological victory, the spiritual victory of faith over nature, of the godly worldview over the Greek natural worldview,” says Taylor, an author, speaker, and faith leader.
In the aftermath of Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7, the rabbi says the message of Hanukkah is a powerful reminder that light does win over darkness.
Taylor joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to detail the history of Hanukkah and explain the traditions of the holiday, including the meaning of the menorah.

The Gist - Does Donald Trump Still Know How To Talk: An Investigation
In a national referendum, the country of Venezuela just voted to annex half of Guyana, against the will of the Guyanese ... and international law. And every map. While they have no case, and no means to actually take the land, it might lay the groundwork for further chicanery says Fransisco Toro, our Latin America watcher. Plus, a UC Berkley sociology Jew butts heads with living-in-Israel Jews. Also on the show, does Donald Trump still know how to talk? We watch a speech to determine the extent of the former President's supposed verbal decline.

Consider This from NPR - Women Candidates and the Race for Big Money
A woman has never been president. Hillary Clinton has come the closest, but that highest, hardest glass ceiling is still intact. Now Republican Nikki Haley wants to succeed where her predecessors have not.
The list of reasons a woman hasn't won is long — sexism, lack of representation in circles of power, and lack of representation in circles of money. But Nikki Haley has just scored an endorsement from the Koch Network that could change that.
NPR's Mary Louise Kelly talks to Political Scientist Kira Sonbonmatsu about the inequities between men and women when it comes to fundraising and what the Koch Network endorsement could mean for Haley.
