The Dear Santa Podcast
If Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, why limit it to the imaginary margins of Thanksgiving and New Years? The Dear Santa podcast unwraps the wonder and magic of the holiday season through all the seasons. Yuletide super fans Jason M. Burns and Kate Kasch have set out to experience a holly jolly jubilant journey through the past, present, and future of Christmas, with their good friend Saint Nicholas helping to deliver a new episode under the tree each and every Monday.
