188: Keeping up with Krampus

In this week’s A Very Culty Christmas special we’re covering the one, the only Krampus! We’ll get into the origins, the different depictions, as well as the many different celebrations that keep the Krampus spirit alive. Take a drink every time I say Krampus differently throughout the episode and you’ll end up thinking it was the best one yet!
