This week’s episode got a bit out of hand. Jared Silvia tells me that, for legal reasons, this needs to be called a radio play.

Anyway, I talk to Santa, have an interview you have to hear to believe–maybe you still won’t believe it–plus

I replay Melissa Crandall’s personal essay about A Christmas Carol.
