@PolygonShow @TheHistoryOfFun @voxdotcom big ups to @RussFrushtick and @plante for being the best history brothers, and to all of you for listening to me talk about ostensibly entertaining things! <3

[allegra frank @LegsFrank]

hello! thanks to everyone who’s listened to me on @PolygonShow and @TheHistoryOfFun for the past ~2 (!!!) years. but sadly, due to my busy new @voxdotcom life, i’ve chosen to leave HOF going forward.

@plante Thats a wrap on season two! Hope y’all had a fun holiday season with us ~ we’ll be back soon with a new theme for @russfrushtick, @plante, and I to explain to you, all while yelling at each other at the same time. <3 - @LegsFrank

New Year, but old memories: On our season finale, @plante takes us on the journey of the War on Christmas. Perfect post-holiday listening, folks!

Don’t forget one of the other best holidays in December: Channukah! As @LegsFrank reminds us, it’s the one time of year we have a good excuse to play with Dreidels. And that’s a good thing indeed. https://t.co/GHPrjjnWgl

With Christmas a-comin’, @RussFrushtick takes us all the way to Iceland, where they live in celebration (and fear???) of the Yule Lads every holiday season.

Christmas is on the way, and so too is the Krampus. Let @plante explain why this anti-Santa isn’t actually so bad: https://t.co/QmPjgLXVhx

With turkey day next week, we're diving into the history of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and its bizarre balloons, like Felix! https://t.co/McdKz6KZ3y

RT if you believe Felix lives in all of us.

[allegra frank @LegsFrank]

hello! are you a big BLACK FRIDAY shopper? do you spend thanksgiving hunting down deals? what’s the best discount you ever got? have you ever gotten into a fight with another customer over an item? tell me, and you may be featured on an episode of @TheHistoryOfFun :)

[The History of Fun Podcast @TheHistoryOfFun]

Yeah, @plante knows that Halloween is over. But the trick or treating spirit never stops, especially on this week's episode.
