Since 2016, Brian Earl has been telling the fascinating stories behind our favorite holiday's traditions through his podcast, Christmas Past. Inspired by public radio style storytelling, Christmas Past provides a lens through which readers can view Christmas as festive, cheerful, strange, and above all, endlessly fascinating. Think: NPR meets Clement Clarke Moore. Christmas Past has earned a worldwide audience, 1.5 million downloads, and hundreds of five-star reviews. It is the all-time highest-rated and most popular podcast devoted exclusively to Christmas. Each short episode of the podcast tells the story behind a Christmas tradition, with the help of a leading expert. Christmas Past has featured historians, CEOs, linguists, botanists, curators, dancers, chefs, postal inspectors, and professional Santa Clauses, to name a few. Episodes also include Christmas memories recorded and submitted by listeners. Christmas Past aims to surprise and delight the listener into a merrier Christmas by telling an engaging story, revealing surprising histories, and recreating the feeling of reminiscing at a family gathering — all in the time it takes to wrap a few gifts. In 2022, Brian authored a book based on his hit podcast, available in hardcover from Lyons Press, and as an audiobook from Recorded Books. He lives in Silicon Valley with his wife and son.
