Deck the halls with guts and innards, fa la la la la la la. This week, Nate and Leigh look at Germany’s festive folklore, which involves being taken away by Krampus or having your belly slit open by Frau Perchta. They also debate which is worse: being murdered by a Christmas monster or finding sticky sweets in your shoes.
Would the thought of your innards becoming outards make you behave as a child or would you risk the wrath of a holiday horror? Let us know what you think by getting in touch with the show and leaving us a review wherever you listen to us!
