The last episode of the year of Anything Goes includes a quick recap of 2020, a year that towards the end of this year will celebrate its first (and last) birthday: in this respect, 2020 is very similar, if not equal, to any other year. With Lena Stolby, we explore Russian literature, an innate defense mechanism against winter; with expert Paolo Tac, we uncover the life of Oliver Cromwell, the inventor of the English French Revolution; with Amelia Jane Hunter, we discover that the spirit of Christmas might as well hide in the pouch of kangaroos. Unknown until the late XVIII century, Santa Claus became wildly popular thanks to film producer and ante-litteram Jon Bon Jovi Charles Dickens, thus affirming himself as saint protector of poor children and sick sailors. Overall, a merry episode. This show contains a power outage. Full episode here: https://www.mixcloud.com/THFRadio/anything-goes-34-w-filippo-spreafico-christmas-special-19122020/
