Episode description
Nathan Gilmour, snotty English teacher, moderates a discussion with David Grubbs and Michial Farmer on various attempts to stymie Christmas over the centuries, culminating in a discussion of the 21st century's versions of the same. Among the texts we discuss are Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Morte d'Arthur, Washington Irving's The Sketchbook of Geoffrey Crayon, A Christmas Carol, The Grinch who Stole Christmas, and various 24-hour news programs. Listen to hear our favorite story of St. Nicholas.
