How the Cat Stole Christmas: Introducing the Yulecat of Iceland!
Season 2 episode 4 is out meow, just in time for the Winter Solstice!
Christmas + Cat = The YuleCat of Iceland!
Have you heard of Jólakötturinn? Tune in to this (23-minute) episode of 6 Degrees of Cats here to appreciate the history and learn about reason for the season - that is, the Winter Solstice, and the reason that this monstrous moggie is the moral enforcer of mean mountain mom Grýla in Iceland!
We’ll provide a bit more context in next week’s @The Captain’s Log newsletter (including of course #CatNewsLately) but for now, enjoy this episode, share with your friends who need a little magic to counter those gray skies we’re seeing here in the Western hemisphere - and we’ll see you on the other side of the longest night!
Extra thanks to returning guest Terry Gunnell, musician Júlía Hermannsdóttir (check out her band Oyama) and journalist Haukur Sigurbjörn Magnússon - and you, for all your wonderful support in 2023!
PS I now will correctly pronounce a few things I said wrong.
Superb episode.
