<description>&lt;p&gt;Getting you right into the holiday spirit, this episode we’ve chosen the word “Holidays”. Ragini jumps right into that holiday spirit with the legend of Krampus, a horned beastly figure from central and eastern Alpine folklore - scaring the poop out of misbehaving kids everywhere since time immemorial. &amp;nbsp;We widen the net and go hunting for the history of holidays, the weekend and how the “Day of Rest” has evolved on the Indian subcontinent and for its many inhabitants.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It's a holiday fact-packed episode, so tune in!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barely Researched Facts is a facts-based show (barely) brought to you by ArtNowThus, a media company based in India. Born out of the infamous lockdown of 2020, the show is a trip down dissection lane – of words. Every episode, the hosts Ragini and Shar choose one word and deep dive into it. Every interesting fact we can find, we research – somewhat casually – and bring to you, pairing it with some good humour and casual chat between two friends.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
