Ho ho ho! In this festive special, we open up our sack of gifts to give you the story of Santa Claus, from the story of Saint Nicholas of Myra, through to Germanic traditions around Christmas, and how much these influenced the jolly old man delivering presents on Christmas Eve. https://www.patreon.com/theHistocrat https://bsky.app/profile/thehistocrat.bsky.social Mythillogical logo + Thumbnail art by Ettore Mazza.

Hey guys, it’s your girl Pandora, welcome to my latest unboxing video.

Mythillogical is the podcast where two enthusiasts of mythology, history and folklore try and make sense of the wide variety of fantastic tales told by cultures around the world. We discuss why the same idea can show up in the mythology of cultures on opposite sides of the world, what real events can inspire superstition and folklore, how stories can completely change over time, and where possible try to figure out what could have inspired people to dream up dragons, demons, gods and monsters. May contain wild speculation, terrible puns, and if we’re lucky, actual facts.
