Is Christmas still a religious holiday to reflect on the birth of Christ or have Wal-Mart and Coca-Cola completely secularized (and commercialized) it into a month-long shopping frenzy? Also, why does the Dutch Santa own slaves?

#4: The Scandalcast
The Sheaf’s recent parody issue has raised the ire of talk radio host John Gormley. Of course, controversy and criticism are part of any campus newspaper’s operations and the adVerb is only one example. This week, we address John Gormley’s criticisms and talk about some other recent Sheaf controversies, as well as what role a newspaper plays in the campus community.

#3: The Nostalgiacast
We are all just children at heart, or maybe we are just stuck in a perpetual adolescence. This week we discuss nostalgia for our childhoods, why today’s cartoons are awful, and why we always seem to come back to the things we grew up with.

#2: The Pankiwcast
The always entertaining Jim Pankiw recently relaunched his political efforts with a news conference and a flashy new website. It doesn’t really matter that there’s no election. Join the Sheaf’s news editor Rory MacLean and web editor Ishmael Daro for a look at Pankiw’s campaign, his ideas and his website.

#1: The Spamcast
