About this listen

Host Ollie traces Hornussen from 1564 Swiss farmers hurling flaming logs to ward off evil spirits, through church bans, to its 19th-century elevation as a national symbol. Discover how this ghost-busting ritual evolved into a 450-year-old competitive tradition where rubber pucks fly at 300 kilometers per hour.
