About this listen
Hosts Lare, Amanda, and Sara explore the darker, more terrifying "helpers" and enforcers of Saint Nicholas from European folklore. The episode details figures such as Belsnickel (the switch-wielding German 'Nicholas in furs'), Père Fouettard (the French 'Father Whipper' with a gruesome backstory), and the notorious Krampus (the half-goat, half-demon from Alpine regions). The discussion also covers the chilling German crone Frau Perchta, who punishes the lazy by slitting their bellies, and the Icelandic family of monsters: Grýla, her Thirteen Yule Lads, and the monstrous Yule Cat who eats children who aren't wearing new clothes.
