It’s Thanksgiving week, which marks the start of the pop-culture Christmas season. It’s the start of the Christian Christmas season, too: this weekend marks the first season of Advent. The Crummy Little Podcast kicks off this festive season with Joshua Mercer, Political Director of CatholicVote.org.

Josh’s reservoir of knowledge is both deep and wide – you can’t talk to the guy without learning something new. Here, he gives his thoughts on the key topics in the news: Christmas, shopping on Thanksgiving, the Republican primary, and Star Wars.

Thanks for listening – And a very Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Extras:

• As mentioned about, Josh is the Political Director of CatholicVote.org, a pretty cool site if you’re interested in Catholic faith and politics. You can follow them on Twitter, connect on Facebook, or sign up for their email newsletter, The Loop.
• Josh is worth a Twitter follow himself, too.
• Josh mentions a fan theory that Jar Jar Binks is actually an evil Sith Lord. It’s worth a read. It can’t make the prequels any worse.
