Matthew Parker unpacks the story and meaning behind a rather dark holiday object--a small pin shaped like a a gallows, created in support of those unfairly convinced in the Haymarket Affair of 1886. In doing so, he introduces us to the once-radical history of Labor Day.
In this season's second episode about St. Patrick's Day, Nick Shelley shares a family recipe for Corned Beef and Cabbage. This classic holiday nosh tells us more about the resilience of immigrants in America than the rolling hills of Éire.
Patrick McGovern's episode taps into the feeling of Christmas. . .and then historicizes it! He connects the creation of a now-kitsch item--the snow globe--to the hobby of collecting and the honing of a Gilded-Age Christmas aesthetic still resonant in our lives.
Katelin Staton takes us along the story of a New Year's Eve tradition in Cherryville, North Carolina--firing off a reproduction Civil War musket. Come along to hear about tipsy mummers and nineteenth-century firearms.
With a small souvenir coin, Madeline Rorie takes us back to the early days of America's most libertine holiday: Mardi Gras!
