E15 | This “New” Year

Happy New Year? In this, the first episode of 2022, I take a brief global look at everything that feels unresolved and question the concept of a “new” year. With so much left to be said and everything left unsettled from the past, what does a new year really mean? From the evolving Coronavirus, the circus of US politics, and the death of beloved icons like Betty White, Sidney Poitier, Meat Loaf, and Bob Saget— why does it feel like our sense of time is warped? With a complex gratitude, in episode 15, I celebrate the uncertainty, the bitterness, the delight, and the absence of levity that has ushered each of us into this new year.
