Is “Jingle Bells” racist? And what does a Christmas song have to do with the history of slavery?
DVJ and Michelle dive into a controversial story involving a Milwaukee music teacher who says she refuses to use certain sleigh-bell instruments with her predominantly Black students because of their connection to the history of enslaved people. The conversation gets into race, historical context, education, and whether understanding the past should change how we use something today.
Then the conversation gets even deeper.
DVJ shares personal experiences from his time in prison, including the racial divisions he witnessed inside the institution and how race shaped everyday life behind the walls.
The episode also takes a turn toward politics, media, Milwaukee radio, political advertising, and the frustration of hearing political voices you specifically don't want attached to your podcast.
And then there's the Krista Pike death-row story—including the shocking report discussed in the episode about her execution attempt and what happened afterward.
Of course, it wouldn't be Cold World without everything in between. 😂 The hosts talk about Big Brother, sports, podcasting, advertising, coffee, Milwaukee, music, and whatever else comes up during the conversation.
Some history. Some politics. Some prison stories. Some true crime. And a whole lot of opinions.
You may not agree with everything said—but you're definitely going to have something to say about it.
