The History of Halloween

1/11/2013

HistoryNeedsYou's October radio show with Stephen Lambert of EGH Media focussed on Halloween traditions old and new. We were joined by Rhiannon, a Wiccan priestess, and Zayed Zaheer, a British Asian Muslim. Interspersed by readings from Lady Tankerville's Encounters (an account of ghosts at Northumberland's famously haunted Chillingham Castle), it was a fascinating show. 

If you missed it, you can listen using the player below.

Next month's show, to be broadcast on 13 November at 8pm GMT, will be on War and Remembrance.

In our two latest radio shows for EGH Media, Matthew discussed Richard III (including his own meeting with the king) and other monarchs or heads of state whose remains have no known resting place, including Alfred the Great.

If you missed either show, you can listen to them below.
