The Festivus Podcast – Episode 2 – Airing of Grievances with the Tampa Bay Times


Listen to episode in Anchor

In this podcast we go to Florida and speak to Christopher Spata, the features editor at the Tampa Bay Times, the only newspaper in the USA to annually publish Festivus grievances. The grievances are gathered through their website and include “Season’s Bleatings” from people all around the world. Venting troubles can soothe troubled souls, and by doing this the Times is hoping that the social benefit will make the world better in 2020… well, we had a good laugh about that, and many other topics.
