    Why Christmas movies are good for us

    National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Elf, Love Actually, It’s a Wonderful Life -
    who doesn’t love a Christmas movie?

    Some are tear-jerkers, some are love stories, and some are a little bit corny… but
    we love them all the same.

    By design, Christmas movies have strong themes that tell the audience everything is
    going to be just fine.

    They often share a ‘hero’s journey’ and show that despite the hardship the main
    character goes through, everything will be okay in the end.

    In addition, the messages of caring, love, hope, community, and forgiveness are
    always intertwined into the stories, all of which are central to good mental health in
    our own personal realities.

    Mike is joined by Dr Marny Lishman, Health & Community Psychologist & Author of ‘Burnout to Brilliant’ who shares her thoughts on why you should enjoy your
    festive favourites guilt free and often.

    Donald Trump could chargrill the climate change cash cow

    Mike is joined by Tim Blair, columnist for the Daily Telegraph, to discuss his recent article on climate activists' fears that incoming President Donald Trump could spell the end of the "climate change cash cow"—and why that might be a good thing.

    Though Trump is still a month away from his inauguration, he's already building on what must be a record-breaking streak of victories.

    Former and future President Trump secured the Electoral College with a decisive 312 to 226 margin. He won the popular vote by more than 2.2 million and swept every key swing state.

    Numbers aside, this election was nothing short of a crushing defeat for Kamala Harris and her party of woke politics.
