Whew! We made it. 2020 is almost over. Finally. But before it is, we want to celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, Festivus and the entire holiday season with one little present of a pod for all our good little angry Americans all around the world. Our host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) has coordinated with Santa for one last holiday gift for you: a special holiday episode with some of our best guests from an incredible year of riveting and inspiring conversations. 

In every one of our conversations with an important, iconic and/or inspiring guest, Paul always asks one of this show’s trademark questions, “What makes you happy?”

This is some of the very best of them. From Stephen Colbert to Norman Lear to Mick Foley, their answers, stories, and insights give us a true holiday gift of wisdom, perspective and humor. Even when times are tough–especially when times are tough–there is still some reason to be happy. And a need for a reason to smile. This is a perfect stocking-stuffer of an episode to unwrap before or after Christmas with a warm cup of hot cocoa, on a drive to work, while you’re wrapping presents, or in your headphones while looking at the stars. Even if Santa left you hanging this holiday, we’ve got you. 

You can also watch video of all our amazing 2020 conversations with an incredible range of music, political, business and media players from Chuck D to Jeffrey Wright to Medal of Honor Recipient Flo Groberg to Sarah Jessica Parker to Stephen Colbert to Meghan McCain to Mayor Pete Buttigieg to Jason Alexander on the Righteous Media YouTube page. It’s political, social and industry diversity like no other show in America. 

If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention. Angry Americans is your trusted, independent source for news, politics, culture and inspiration. It’s a smart, fun and no-BS perspective like nowhere else in the media.
