Saturnalia Podcasts
I have some podcast recommendations for your holiday listening:
'Tis the season to Praise Saturn, eat too much, drink too much, and celebrate with friends and family. To listen to the Ancient History Fangirl podcast on Saturnalia, click here:

In this podcast from Dan Snow's History Hit, Kevin Butcher talks about the Roman festival of Saturnalia. Held between the 17 and 23 December, Saturnalia involved plenty of drinking, gift-giving, and a sense of a world turned upside-down.

Finally, the Ancient History Hound podcast discusses what the Saturnalia involves, how did these elements appear and why. Neil has also produced a podcast on the Haloa, an ancient Greek Festival which involved highly suggestive food, drunken shenanigans and bad language.
