This year, Christmas finds Ricochet’s own Dave Carter enjoying life in Florida while savoring the memories of holidays on the bayou in his home state of Louisiana. Whether it’s childhood memories with his grandparents and great grandparents at Christmas, or stories of life in uniform, life on the road, or life in retail, Dave brings you center stage where you will experience events with him.

Roman Genn, whose extraordinary art regularly graces the covers of National Review, along with the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, the Library of Congress and the White House (to name only a few), joins Dave for a conversation that spans the globe. Born in Moscow, Roman’s political cartoons achieved a level of notoriety in the Soviet Union that resulted in his needing to leave the Workers’ Paradise and move to the United States in 1991. Informed by the perspectives of one who witnessed the machinations of a totalitarian state up close and personal, Roman has some thoughts to share on the Russian invasion of Ukraine that you may find arresting to say the least.  Oh yes, and you won’t want to miss Roman’s description of Christmas in Soviet Russia.

Ricochet stars Rob Long, Troy Senik, and Jenna Stocker drop in to wish one and all a Merry Christmas. Then, unable to let a good Christmas show go to waste, Dave shares a Cajun version of the Twelve Days of Christmas that beats anything we’ve ever heard. From Christmas Blues and Zydeco to side-splitting comedy, from geopolitical analysis to Christmas stories that touch the heart and raise the spirit, this episode of The Dave Carter Show is one you won’t want to miss.

    Welcome back again Dave. Thanks, as always, for the LA shoutouts. Hoping to get to a wedding next year in New Orleans but may end up being just my husband (the real Louisianian). Sigh. Enjoy your FL Christmas and watch out for falling lizards.

    Thank you!  Now don’t tell anyone, but when I was a kid I’d take two lizards and bump their heads together until they opened their mouths to bite. Then I’d let each one bite an ear lobe. They’d hang on and I’d walk around with lizard ear rings. Like I said, don’t tell anyone.

    Why did you stop?  With your current follicle situation, those lizards would be very attractive. Just don’t wear them in Key West. 😁
