What’s this birthday business about anyway? Commemorating the day of your birth makes sense, but throughout the centuries, birthdays have gotten pretty big for their boots. The cake, the candles, the singing, the presents, the Facebook notifications… birthdays are a big deal. In the very first episode of Happy Birthday Podcast, Jo and Jerry look at the beginning of the modern-day birthday traditions that everyone knows so well.

There’s a Happy Birthday Podcast episode about parties and you’re all invited! Join Jo and Jerry for the perfect mix of poignant storytelling and incoherent ramblings as they talk about birthday parties from all kinds of angles.
