#256 Christmas Goblins Ride You Like a Cowboy - Kallikantzaros
from But It Was Aliens · host But It Was Aliens
The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe our most mischievous but kind of pointless festive trouble-makers yet, the Christmas Goblins. Known in ancient antiquity such as ancient greek culture as Kallikantzaros, these things have been rodeo’ing strangers and weeing on flowerbeds in between trying to cause the end of the world. For millennia. But can we find any evidence of their existence? What if we told you that we can? Allegedly. Truthfully. If you were born on one of the twelve days of Christmas, you just might turn in to one of these creatures. Unless someone singed your toes as a baby… All that and more on this week’s episode.Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliensStore:https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/Probe us:Email: [email protected]/Threads @ ButItWasAliensTwitter @ ButItWasAliensFacebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial TowersMusic: Music created via Garageband.
