Hi and Hi, and welcome back to Hooded What Now, the history podcast that's not your history class,

Betty Sod. With me, your still rather unwell host, Katie Charlwood.

Sick person and reader of books. I am surviving because I am on antibiotics and painkillers and I still constantly feel like

The cough is mainly gone and the fever isn't there anymore, so that's something.

These are the bitisodes.

Any bits that I like that I want to talk about, we're going to talk about.

And because we're still in spooky season, I want to talk about the history of the jackal antel.

So to do this, we're actually going to have to delve into mythology a wee bit.

helps teach us where how and why something became part of a culture so the jackalantone as many of you know

is it's a pumpkin with a face carved in it not even a face now it's got like people do like mad shit

they've got like funky designs. I go really simple usually

when I do my jacko lantern because I do pumpkin jack or jack skeleton from nightmare before Christmas.

Like that's can I usually where I aim because it's pretty simple to do because I don't know if you've

ever carved a pumpkin but it is not simple.

Like I've seen people do it with drills and stuff which honestly seems like a much better idea.
