December 2007 installment of the WAVE project from KFAI Radio in the Twin Cities.
Wassail and wassailing are intimately associated with the winter holidays by many people, but how many REALLY know what they involve? Their history? This programme discusses the history as well as the modern relevance of this delightful tradition, and how it combines music, drinking, and raillery to bring warmth & light into the coldest, darkest time of the year.
