Episode 50: Celebrating St. Nicholas and Festive Realities with Benito Cereno

We've made it to 50 episodes!!! To celebrate, we're taking advantage of the episode releasing in December to discuss Saint Nicholas! The only figure to come from the middle ages that outstrips Robin Hood in terms of international fame and a reputation for charitable giving!Joining me is Benito Cereno, author and co-host of Apocrypals.For more from Benito, including his writings on Christmas and his translations of medieval texts, please check out his patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/c/benitocereno/homeCORRECTION: In this episode I attempt to make a joke about the actor Fisher Stevens. Instead I mistakenly reference the electroclash duo of Fischerspooner, who, to the best of my knowledge, did not perform in brown face. My apologies.This episode's special artwork comes from Ari Papke.
