356 Days until Christmas. Each Friday, as I count down the days until Christmas, I want to highlight some other great christmas podcasts that are available. First on my Friday countdowns, is The Christmas Past Podcast.

Behind every Christmas tradition is a story, often a forgotten one. Every year as we put up a tree and pour the eggnog, we’re continuing generations-old narratives, while being mostly unaware of their starting chapters.

Join Brian Earl to explore the fascinating stories behind the most wonderful time of the year. It’s equal parts nerdy deep dive and warmhearted celebration. Think: NPR meets Clement Clarke Moore!
