Ep. #391: From Christmas Classics to Closing Chapters, We're Embracing The Change

About this episode

The crew reflects on Christmas traditions, childhood memories, and the importance of embracing change as they grow older.

The crew recaps Christmas the only way they know how — with family, traditions, laughter, and real conversation. From holiday dinners and meaningful gifts to the Black Christmas classics that never get old (The Temptations, Run-DMC, The Jackson 5), this episode is a full-on stroll down memory lane. They reminisce about childhood toys, growing up Black, prom stories, and the moments that shaped them along the way. Mrs. Fruit reflects on time moving fast and learning to appreciate every day, while Ed keeps it real about getting older, gratitude for family, and embracing new chapters — including closing one chapter in radio and stepping boldly into what’s next. It’s nostalgic, honest, funny, and grounded — a reminder that aging is a blessing, Black don’t crack, and there’s room for everybody in podcasting and beyond. https://verifi.podscribe.com/pxl?advertiser=audible&client=05e67ccb-726b-4ba7-8b4f-d9db5a08fbe7&clname=cmonsonthepodcast_us_audible_587132&dt=%%delivery_time%%&eid=%%episodeid%%&event_type=imp&ip=%%ip%%&ord=%%cachebuster%%&pid=%%podcastid%%&plt=megaphone&pub=poddigital&ua=%%ua%%&v=1 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz…
