In episode 18 we talk about Terry Pratchett’s classic 1996 novel Hogfather, which uses Christmas to discuss the importance of belief and ritual.
When a shady client hires the Assassins Guild to eliminate the Hogfather, Death steps up to hold space for the jolly figure (with hilarious results) as his granddaughter investigates the cause for the Hogfather’s disappearance.
