This episode is a reflection on growing up in Utah and the way time is arranged through commercial holiday consumerism. Ideas about time are explored and how they are tracked by different calendar systems with insights from Mayan and Tongan perspectives. Alter-native approaches to this time of year and season are considered, including the Mayan calendar and Indigenous time generally that is centered in place.
