Well, well, well, if it isn’t our annual All Team Holiday Episode. The real ones know that these episodes are typically out of control. This year is no different (except we were all sober at the time of recording). Tune in for a timed check-in, followed by end-of-year trivia, 2025 Oops All Oops and some light chatter about Heated Rivalry. If you’d rather not jump right into the deep end, might we recommend a mini playlist of all our holiday-themed episodes?

To make sense of the recent resurgence in point-and-shoot cameras, we’re returning to French philosopher and cultural theorist Roland Barthes! We begin with a conversation about the major technological shifts that have occurred in photography between 1980 (when Barthes published Camera Lucida) and today. Hannah then leads us in a theory section all about "the Punctum." Together, she and Marcelle parse Barthes' understanding of what makes photography distinct from other mediums and how Time is entangled with our emotional relationship to snapshots captured on camera. If you've never heard of "the Punctum," let this episode be your introduction to one of Barthes' more moving contributions to our theory tool belt!***Happy holidays from the Material Girls team!

We begin this week's Material Concerns with stressing out Marcelle through vulgarity — and then swiftly turn the conversation over to a nice and long check in. of course, it wouldn't be a Material Concerns episode if we didn't do at least one other segment! We wrap up Part I with a Fixation Station that is maybe more of a Ok, Hear Me Out. Happy listening and join us for Part II on Patreon!Part II features Consumer Retorts, Creature Report and a quick voice memo dispatch from Coach to Hannah. To listen, join our Patreon for as little as $54/year! You'll get ad-free episodes, bloopers, a backlog of content and part two of all Material Concerns episodes!
