His Podcast Will Sleigh You
Time magazine columnist Joel Stein once tweeted, “Everyone has a podcast.” Maybe not everyone, but surely the Big Guy has one. Of course, with his hectic schedule, not to mention all the commercial demands on his time, aren’t you a bit curious (you know you are) about what it takes to put his podcast together? Here’s a transcription of Santa reading the credits on his podcast, North Pole Nocturn, that will go online sometime near midnight on Christmas Eve.
SANTA: Well, ho, ho, ho. It’s time for Santa to climb into his sleigh and bring joy and happiness to good little girls and boys. The presents are loaded, and Mrs. Claus has packed my snacks of M&Ms and Coca Cola, so I’ll be signing off. But first, I want to thank everyone who made this podcast possible. Ho, ho, ho, let me see…
