Happy almost New Year and good riddance 2020! This week, Hannah and Katy swap places again and Katy tells Hannah about different New Year's tradition and folklore around the world! Hear about some friendly-ish demons who uphold their end of a bargain even when they're being scammed, and more ways to terrorize your disobedient probably hellish children after Christmas!

Tell us your favorite New Year's traditions on IG: @thetaleswetellpodcast! Pop some champagne, and enjoy the last episode of this horrendous year!
