PCN Episode 38: The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus

With Christmas right around the corner, Nathan and Nathan discuss the myths and traditions associated with Santa. Whether it's looking at the practice of encouraging your kids to celebrate a home invader or exploring the roots of the heretic-smacking firebrand saint who inspired ol' Kris Kringle, we delve into all aspects of that merry jelly-belly whose become such a centerpiece of the holiday. Merry Christmas everyone! NOTE: At the time of this recording, the shared news story about the dying child and Santa was being touted as truth. Now, that story's 'truthiness' is up in the air. We've left it in, and our reaction to it, as it still underscores the pervasiveness of this particular bit of Christmas mythmaking.
