Christmas Compilation: Part Three

Season's greetings! For our third and final Christmas compilation - and the last full-length episode of 2024 - Douglas and Hugh unwrap the gift of truth from under the Christmas tree of lies. In this slice of historical Yule log, you'll discover the erotic side of XXXmas, the REAL reason we have a dying pine tree in the corner of our living room ever December, how Queen Victoria's bareknuckle prowess gave Boxing Day its name and the origins of that horrific festive tradition: panto. Warning. This episode contains nuts. ------ History for You with Douglas and Hugh is a spoof comedy podcast about history written, performed and produced by Adrian Mackinder and James Devonshire, with music by Mike Jones.  Let us know your thoughts and suggestions for future episodes.
