Happy Christmas! In this episode we join Mike on a road trip around Cornwall to look into the surprising history of carols and their place in the church. If that wasn't enough Mike also delves into the mysterious world of 'the little folk' or piskies, as they are known in Cornwall. Add a generous helping of Christmas song and you indeed have a bumper festive edition!
