The Christmas Special: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

A discussion on Christmas, chivalry, and cheating.

In this special episode of the podcast, editors Samuel and Levi are talking about their favourite Christmas story: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, by the anonymous Pearl Poet of the 14th century. It’s an Arthurian romance that comes to us from late mediaeval England, featuring headless horsemen, knightly deeds, seduction, and witchcraft. And all of it taking place in the most wonderful time of the year - Yuletide. But what’s even more special is that this episode is our first video podcast, available to watch on YouTube as well as listen via the Substack podcast feed.

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope to hear from you all through our socials, or our Discord server, to join the discussion leading up to our final issue of our first year as a publication!
