    429 - Martin Shaw - Longing and Mystery: The Quest for the Holy Grail

    In this conversation, I sit down with storyteller and mythologist Martin Shaw to explore the Holy Grail. We talk about desire and longing, failure and mercy, chivalry and the feminine, and why the Grail stories continue to be relevant across centuries.

    428 - Why they want you to think Christmas is pagan
    Dec 24 2025
    In this video I discuss the persistence of the idea that Christmas was "stolen" by Christians from the pagans, or that it's secretly still pagan. Merry Christmas everyone. Christ is born!
