Tisby Media is rapidly scaling and The Justice Briefing will be the first endeavor to level up. This holiday season, invest in truth-telling at the intersection of faith, history, and justice.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
No. I’m not talking about Christmas (that’s wonderful, too).
But if you know me and my former podcast, Pass The Mic, you already know what I mean.
Cultural Artifacts!!!
For years, our annual Cultural Artifacts episodes became a kind of ritual.
A pause. A reflection.
A chance to look back on the books, music, films, shows, conversations, and moments that didn’t just entertain us but carried us through another year of living, loving, grieving, organizing, and hoping.
This year’s episodes are a bit different.
Over the summer, we officially sunsetted Pass The Mic. That chapter closed with gratitude, pride, and no small amount of emotion.
The Reunion You’ve Been Waiting For
That’s why the episodes this year are so special—it’s a reunion!
This is the first Cultural Artifacts episode since PTM ended, so it is only right and fitting that my very first official guest on The Justice Briefing is none other than Rev. G. Tyler Burns!
I honestly can’t imagine a better way to mark this moment.
For longtime PTM listeners, this will feel like slipping into a familiar groove.
It’s astounding how, even after months apart, we immediately found the same chemistry, same laughter, and same thoughtful detours and unexpected gems that characterized our time on PTM.
While we enjoyed being back on the mic, we hope you enjoy it even more.
What Is Cultural Artifacts?
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 right here on Substack Live or on my YouTube page.
