Summary

It's the beginning of the week of Halloween, and we know what you really want…a lecture on history! The Twaddling Along Trio tackles this trick-or-treating holiday with an in-depth look at why we do what we do on Halloween. From carved rutabagas, plots to assassinate King James I, ancient feasts that worried about witches, and modern-day capitalism, we discuss it all with our usual flair.
