There’s a word that has become shorthand for ‘the war on Christmas’ with a side of ‘political correctness gone mad’: Winterval.
It began in November 1998. Newspapers furiously accused Birmingham City Council of renaming Christmas when it ran festive events under the name ‘Winterval’. The council’s then-head of events Mike Chubb explains the true meaning of Winterval.

Alright the response for part 2 of the discussion that went bad was actually pretty overwhelming. Eyeballing it, I’d say it was at least 4 to 1 in favor. However, the people who didn’t want to hear part 2 had really good reasons… So I’ve sort of split the difference. I’m going to talk a … Continue reading AS299: Let’s Get Into the Arguments →

The internet, while amazing, has given rise to the dangerous proliferation of misleading - or, in some cases, entirely fictitious- stories masquerading as news. So how can we outsmart the conspiracy of disinformation?
Well, this is the recording you may have heard or seen me allude to. Joining me is Eli Bosnick, Mike, and Dustin. WARNING: This episode contains a lot of profanity. This is an attempt at a really difficult conversation between two sides coming from way different perspectives. It will be up to you to judge … Continue reading AS298: The Best Podcast Ever, Part 1 →
In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys are joined by Iowa's favorite daughter, the absolutely delightful comedian and writer, Jocey Coffman! We talk a bit about Iowa, a bit about the Budweiser Bowl, and a bit about government buildings that look like dicks. Then, we launch into one of the craziest things we've ever heard on this podcast: Jocey shares her story about being a recovering MIME! We talk about the ins-and-outs of the artform, including the fact that, apparently, former mimes run Hollywood in the way that former Skull & Bones members run the halls of power in Washington D.C. This episode is absolutely wild and you're gonna love it! Follow Jocey on Twitter @JoceyDotCom. Song of the week this week: "If Jesus Drove A Motor Home" by Jim White.

In today’s episode I talk about several very striking examples of misleading headlines that have been created and shared in furtherance of the narrative that the PC police are ruining our lives. When I investigated these news stories though, I found that the truth was somewhat more complex and in many cases the stories were … Continue reading AS297: Are the PC Police Out to Get Us? →
