Christmas Past

Behind every Christmas tradition is a story, often a forgotten one. Every year as we put up a tree and pour the eggnog, we’re continuing generations-old narratives, while being mostly unaware of their starting chapters. 

Join Brian Earl to explore the fascinating stories behind the most wonderful time of the year. It’s equal parts nerdy deep dive and warmhearted celebration. Think: NPR meets Clement Clarke Moore! 

Christmas Past is one of the longest running Christmas podcasts, now in its tenth season. Vanity Fair says: “With excellent production, engaging narration, and short, digestible running times, Christmas Past is perfect to put on while decorating your tree or preparing Christmas dinner.”

Brian is the author of two books about Christmas: Of Christmases Long, Long Ago: Surprising Traditions from Christmas Past (2025) and Christmas Past: The Fascinating Stories Behind Our Favorite Holiday’s Traditions (2022). Both are available in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook (narrated by the author). Find them wherever books are sold.

The Unapologetic Executive

Welcome to The Unapologetic Executive (formerly known as Freeda’s World), the podcast for ambitious Black women who are redefining what success, wellness, and leadership look like, on their own terms.

Hosted by Ritha Pierre, Esq., attorney, strategist, and founder of The Unapologetic Executive, this space invites you to pause, reflect, and lead with intention.

Each episode explores the realities of professional life for Black women, the unspoken pressures, the cultural context, and the courage it takes to prioritize peace in spaces that reward over-performance.

Through honest conversations and expert insights, we talk about everything from identity and self-trust to rest, boundaries, and purpose. These are not pep talks from the sidelines. They’re grounded discussions, equal parts compassion and clarity, designed to help you move from endurance to alignment.

In this space, we believe:

Growth becomes sustainable when it’s rooted in truth.

Clarity becomes attainable when you slow down long enough to listen.

Success feels more meaningful when you stop performing strength and start practicing it.

So settle in with your favorite beverage, release the day, and join us as we explore what it means to lead without apology and live without depletion.

Because ambition should feel aligned, not exhausting.
