Christmas Past

Brian Earl

Behind every Christmas tradition is a story, often a forgotten one. Every year as we put up a tree and pour the eggnog, we’re continuing generations-old narratives, while being mostly unaware of their starting chapters. Join Brian Earl to explore the fascinating stories behind the most wonderful time of the year. It's equal parts nerdy deep dive and warmhearted celebration. Think: NPR meets Clemen... more

  • Good content

    Overall very good. The technique if having the guest speak and then announcing “that was John Snith” gets tiresome. The use of “BCE” to mark time before Christ is offensive especially for a Christmas show. That is disappointing. But overall an enjoyable listen.

  • Absolutely fantastic!

    My bride and I have listened since the first year this wonderful podcast came out and it is a Christmas time tradition for us to listen to each episode, usually listening in on older episodes as well during our numerous trips in the season. Brian Earl does an incredible job of bringing the history of the season and research we love to hear. Bought the book last year and read it again this year as well as recommended it to our family and friends. Just fantastic!

  • What a gift!

    This is from 2020 — I guess I never hit “Send!” ‘Christmas Past’ is well-researched, produced, and presented, and it had given me hours of listening pleasure this Christmas as I’m stuck in quarantine away from my family in my own house and hoping my COVID test comes back negative so I can join them Christmas Day. In any case, it answers a lot of questions that have popped into my mind each Christmas and which I never have the time to follow up on due to the hustle and bustle — sugar plums? Why M... more

  • A trip to the past!

    I do so love the details you emphasize and HOW you emphasize them for effective communication. Excellent background music and additional conversation. History, mystery, and faith rebuilding. A bit of a trip around the world in unity! Thank you, team.

  • Christmas Past

    My family has always been great believers in old family Christmas. This show brings so much of that feeling to me. That Christmas feeling is just enhanced by your show. Now that I have my first granddaughter I hope I can instill that feeling in her. This year has had some sadness though the lose of my mother in law and my father. I hope their spirit of the season can be felt ball season. Thank you Brian
