Episode 19, Gruss Vom Krampus!

On this very special holiday episode, we will discuss the origins, history, lore, and modern day resurrection of The Krampus: Saint Nicholas’ goat-footed demon sidekick. We will also cover Krampus runs, Krampus house visits, and traditional costumes. And just for added holiday fear, we will also talk about Kinderschreckfigurs (child terror figures), the Belsnickel of Pennsylvania, Mari Lywd, Wren Day, Servant Ruprecht, and the actually joyful Christkindlmarkt of Munich, among other things!

I hope you have dark and magical Christmas!
