October 25, 2021 Halloween: A Deep Dive
Halloween is the 7th most popular American holiday, but unlike Christmas or Father's Day, no one seems to know what the origins of the holiday are. This episode investigates roots of this spooky holiday, from Celtic festival of Samhain, to European traditions of guising, to Halloween divination party games and into the origin of trick-or-treating.
