*Christmas Special* - The Surprising History of Christmas Lights
Episode 7
Thursday, 19 December, 2024

In this special feature length episode we dive into the enchanting history of Christmas lights. We are joined by two incredibly distinguished guests: Dr. Niamh Wycherley, a medieval historian and Principal Investigator of a major Irish Research Council project on medieval Ireland, and Jamie Malanowski, a celebrated writer and editor with contributions to The New Yorker, Time, and Vanity Fair. Together, they explore the cultural, historical, and technological journey of Christmas lights—from their medieval symbolism to their transformation into dazzling modern displays. With expert insights, humour, and holiday charm, this episode promises a festive exploration of the lights that brighten our winters. Join our host David McGovern for this fun, Christmas special.
