  • Valentine's Day [Lupercalia]
    Hey everybody! Welcome to our first episode!! As this episode will be released on February 14th, we thought it would be appropriate to dive into the mysterious history and mythology behind Valentine's Day. We break down the supposed origins of this holiday by discussing Lupercalia, an ancient festival that was held in Rome centuries ago. Then we question who St. Valentine was and why he was chosen as the patron saint plus other little goodies about the holiday. Thanks for joining us and we hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed recording it!
