Tea’s Weird Week Episode 005: Krampus and Carnival: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-4tuwd-19d0b31

Host Tea Krulos talks to Al Ridenour, author of the definitive book “The Krampus.” Al tells us about his first encounter with Krampus in Germany, his research, “mainstream” Krampus portrayals, his group Krampus Los Angeles, and his new book on Old World carnivals, “A Season of Madness.” In the “Long Days Travel” segment, Tea talks to TWW travel correspondent Jenny Sanchez about her recent visits to Mexico City. And we close out with an absolute banger, “Dance with the Krampus” by Xposed 4heads, who will be performing at this year’s Milwaukee Krampusnacht.
