Bah Humbug: A Christmas Movie Podcast with Helen O’Hara

It wouldn't be Christmas without some variation on A Christmas Carol attacking our screens, and this year offers two new takes on Charles Dickens' classic story. So Victoriana enthusiast Sarah Cooke joins the pod to talk about both, and The Dickens Fellowship General Secretary Paul Graham stops by to explain what it is about this story that has made it such a hardy perennial. To quote the Victorians, it all makes for the jammiest bit of jam... If you want to check out the Dickens Fellowship for yourself please click this link https://www.dickensfellowship.org/

Another special bonus episode today, this time focusing on Christmas monsters. Dr Emily Zarka has made an academic study of things that go bump in the night, and as well as teaching her students how to survive the monster apocalypse (we assume) she's the host of PBS show Monstrum. We invited her to come in for a chat earlier this year about the Krampus, and all the many Anti-Clauses out there that threaten to punish the bad instead of bringing goodies to the good. Beware the giant Yule Cat everyone; after this episode it will haunt your nightmares...

Allen's Scott Calvin is thinking of turning in the suit and retiring to Florida, but first he has to find another Santa to replace him. All these legal clauses, who'd think magical figures had so much bureaucracy?
