Summary

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No. I’m not talking about Christmas (that’s wonderful, too). Cultural Artifacts!!! For longtime PTM listeners, this will feel like slipping into a familiar groove. As always, the rules remain the same: these artifacts don’t have to be new. They just have to be consumed this year. The things that steadied us. Challenged us. Made us feel more human in a year that demanded a lot. This is Part 1 of 2, so consider this your invitation to settle in—and start making your own list. We’ll be back next Thursday (12/18) for part 2 of Cultural Artifacts. Catch us on Substack Live or on my YouTube page. What’s on your cultural artifacts list this year?
