    History of the Holidays

    Why does December make the whole world feel a little more reflective, a little more magical, and a lot more connected? In this special holiday episode of the Everything Bagel podcast, we trace that shared feeling back thousands of years, starting with the winter solstice. From there, we travel across cultures and continents, unpacking how December became such a powerful crossroads of tradition, belief, resistance, and celebration. We explore how the big three holidays: Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa came to be and their significance on cultural impact. Let’s get festive and dive deeper into the true meanings behind the holiday season.

    Woodstock (& Woodstock '99)

    Woodstock 1969 and Woodstock 1999 may have been 30 years apart, but the two music festivals could not have turned out more opposite. How did Woodstock ‘99 descend into disaster; and why didn’t the original festival do the same? We answer those questions and more as we travel back in time to explore the countercultures of the tail end of two very interesting decades. Hosts Sophi and Stephanie then deep dive into Alligator Alcatraz and the life and legacy of Ozzy Osbourne before discussing the current state of concerts and music festivals.

    Oscar Wilde

    Oscar Wilde thrived in Victorian Era England and the aesthetic movement with his wit and impeccable writing skills, but the public exposure of his private relations with a male lover had him imprisoned and shunned by society. In this episode, we explore the upbringing, education, life, trials, and writings of Oscar Wilde, as we understand how he dominated the upper echelon of society, only to be later exiled. After our Oscar Wilde deep dive, we conduct an examination with our NEW NEWS SEGMENT on the One, Big Beautiful Bill Act and the life of Harvey Milk and the renaming of his US Naval ship. We end this episode with recommendations of both classic and contemporary queer books to read for this Pride Month!

    The Golden Record

    This week we take a trip into space and discover everything about The Golden Record. In 1977, NASA launched Voyager I and Voyager II where their mission was to do a flyby of Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus. After their mission was complete, they would float off into interstellar space until the end of time. On board those space crafts? A cosmic message in a bottle that can communicate with extraterrestrials what life on Earth is like.

    The Oregon Trail

    The Oregon Trail is consistently taught in U.S. history classes throughout the country. But the version we’ve gotten from our textbooks and video games hasn’t taken everything in account when retelling what the journey was like. How did so-called Oregon Fever take root in America, and who did this country have to trample to do so? Listen to this episode of The Everything Bagel Podcast for the news headlines from early to mid-April, an examination of America’s history in Oregon and The Oregon Trail, or our Smoke Break segment, where we discuss new pop music (from Lady Gaga’s Mayhem, Ariana Grande’s brighter days ahead, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s I Said I Love You First, to Rachel Chinouriri) as well as Sophi’s Coachella predictions and feedback.
