Episode 22: The Muppet‘s Christmas Carol AKA Cancel Tiny Tim

TRANSCRIPT HERE

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL YOU GENTLEFOLK! Welcome to our second annual Christmas episode, where we bring you the deepest of dives into the most beloved of yuletide tales by Charles Dickens, brought to you by furry puppets and a most serious Michael Caine. THE MUPPETS CHRISTMAS CAROL!

Did this story invent Christmas? What would Scrooge and Tiny Tim be diagnosed with today? Is Tiny Tim actually a super problematic character? Do you even need to guess the answer to that question? FIND OUT NOW!

CONTENT WARNING: A few bad swears, ableist/harmful attitudes toward disability, charity model, brief mention of domestic violence, child labour and abuse, death/afterlife, death of a child, voluntary assisted dying, terrible muppet and Michael Caine impressions.

NOTE: This podcast is not designed to be therapeutic, prescriptive or constitute a formal diagnosis for any listener, nor the characters discussed. The host is not representative of all psychologists and opinions stated are her own personal opinion, based on her own learnings and training (and minimal lived experience). Host and co-hosts do not have the final say and can only comment based on their own perspectives, so please let us know if you dispute any of these opinions – we are keen for feedback!
