Krampus. Seems like I should have done a show on Krampus years ago, but I was waiting for the right person. And that person is Al Ridenour, author of The Krampus and the Old, Dark Christmas: Roots and Rebirth of the Folkloric Devil. This is the definitive book on Krampus, and Al fills us in on all the history and celebrations we could want.
Links mentioned in the show:
The book: The Krampus and the Old, Dark Christmas
Bone & Sickle (Al's podcast)
The Krampus episode (Saint, Devil, Sugar-Bread & Whip)
Music:
Carol of the Krampus by The Courtesan and the Cabin Boy
