This week I'm joined by broadcaster and writer Yasmeen Khan to discuss the controversial reality of one of America's founding myths; we discover how Charles Dickens changed Christmas and we are confronted with the grisly crimes of Elizabeth Bathory. #history #podcast #comedy #Christmas #Victorian #Dickens #AChristmasCarol #Mayflower #ElizabethBathory #seventeenthcentury

10: Christmas special: The Mayflower, A Christmas Carol and a seventeenth century serial killer - with Yasmeen Khan

Joe Forrester brings you three headlines from the week in history, focusing on the lesser-known, more unusual and often downright odd. Every week Joe is joined by a special guest as they discuss that show’s stories and a whole load of puerile nonsense besides. This is the podcast that shows you history is sexy, sweary and full of people acting like utter plonkers… Imagine Game of Thrones with Benny Hill music. @VeryOldNews (https://twitter.com/veryoldnews) @forrester_joe (https://twitter.com/forrester_joe)
