Wikisurfer 005 – The Evolution Of Santa Claus

In this special holiday edition of our brand new podcast, Brandon takes a trip through the evolution of Santa Claus. The fearless adventures of Nicholas before sainthood, the alleged miracles, the early years of cultural splintering and amalgamation with various Santa clones and gods, the brush with the Reformation and the climb to global icon – we do our best to tell the wonderful, weird story of this singular cultural figure from a real man to a mythical creature.

Be warned – this may not be appropriate for younger audiences who still hold a special place in their hearts for Santa.

Wikisurfer 001 – A Missing Foot

Hello world!

Welcome to Wikisurfer, a kind of experiment in podcast storytelling. Basically the format is this – two guys – Brandon Fibbs & Kyle Sullivan – will each pick a starting topic on Wikipedia, crack it open, and see what hides inside. Moving purely on curiosity, hopping from hyperlink to hyperlink, they pick the best, weirdest, most wonderful stories possible.

This is our inaugural episode! We found some really interesting stories to pass along. You can listen to the episode here – Wikisurfer 001:

Greetings!

Welcome to Wikisurfer, a new podcast in the world. We would say more on this curiosity-driven, hyperlink-dependent journey through the ecosystem of Wikipedia and the larger internet…but maybe our little teaser can do the job for us.

Take a listen and look for it wherever you get your podcasts:
