Last Christmas we gave you our hearts. We recorded twelve mini-episodes all about different aspects of the festive period - and they were incredible.
So this year, because we're both going on holiday (separately, you understand), Hugh has asked his nephew Gavin to cut these episodes together into a trio of full-length episodes for your ears. And this is the first.
In this episode, expect a staggeringly incisive analysis of Christmas carols, the Roman origins of Christmas and everything we know - and don't know - about the big man himself: Father Christmas (or Santa Claus if you're a colonial).
Enjoy!
TRIGGER WARNING: If you don't like Christmas, this episode WILL offend. But if you don't like Christmas, there's obviously something wrong with you.
