What happens on Santa’s flight? In this episode of the North Pole Podcast Elf Frank interviews Elf Crash Murphy, the Ultimate Santa Tracker charged with following behind Santa each year and reporting about it on Kringle Radio.
Nobody has a better view of Santa and what he does than Elf Crash.
In this episode Crash talks about performing special errands for Santa and hearing live reactions to seeing Santa in flight. He talks about the reindeer, the sleigh and the many things you just never hear about when Santa makes his way around the world.
Elf Frank replays radio segments from our Christmas Eve broadcast and asks Elf Crash to give his take on some of those reports.
In all, it is a behind-the-scenes look of what it takes to pull of Operation Merry Christmas.
What’s up, dudes? If your stocking gets stolen and your tree can’t be found, you may as well call us ’cause we’ll be around. We have to work Christmas, so if you’re in a pinch, just give Blue Moon a jingle and ask for the Grinch. That’s right! Karen Flieger from The Retro Network, Ken Kessler from Sounds of Christmas, and Michael Christelman of the Saturday Morning Mafia are here to talk the “Moonlighting” Christmas episode It’s a Wonderful Job!
When the staff rebels after being forced to work on Christmas, Maddie (Cybill Shepherd) wishes she had never kept Blue Moon Detective Agency open. Enter Albert, her angel, the Clarence to her George Bailey. Albert shows her how everyone’s lives could’ve turned out had her wish been granted, ultimately culminating in her alternate self’s apparent suicide. With her wish to live renewed and the dawning realization of the impact their lives have on each other, Maddie celebrates Christmas and gives the office staff time to do likewise! Oh, and there’s a juicy kiss with David too! Will they? Won’t they?
Yes, “Moonlighting” had it all! Fletch’s boss as an angel? Check. Cheryl Tiegs cameo? Yup. Dynamic chemistry? Definitely! So grab your angel, let him show you around, and take the elevator to this fourth wall-breaking episode!

Merry Christmas.
Welcome to episode 78 of the TCP.
First up we have a delightful Christmas memory from our American Scandinavian correspondent Benji Pearson.
Then it’s Christmas Everyday and Bob Baker gives us a very sneaky suggestion of how to keep Christmas alive all year long.
This episode’s version of A Christmas Carol is one of the most accurate ones you will ever find. The dialogue isn’t quite there, but nearly all the scenes from the book are here. It’s an Australian production from Burbank films and if you want to give it a look it’s on YouTube:
Then our American correspondent Scott Newman tells us a story from the life and times of the real Saint Nicholas.
Scott is the host of Tinsel Tunes and you can check out the latest episode right here:
Next up it’s Do You Hear What I Hear and this time Bob Baker is explaining what us Brits mean when we say the word Cheeky.
Then it’s the quiz. Stop complaining.
This episode’s recommendation is Love Letters podcast. I’ve been enjoying it and you might too so give it a listen:

In the March 2023 episode of Merry Britsmas, I explore some alternative, little known (but brilliant) British indie christmas songs from the likes of Oh Wonder and Gaffa Tape Sandy. I also look at how nurses and hospitals dealt with the festive season during World War II, and take a gander at a BBC Sherlock Holmes episode set during the holidays.

It’s Christmas eve and you’ve just set out a pint of Guinness for Santa alongside a mince pie. Tomorrow you will have a feast surrounded by friends and family. This cold dish starts its journey during the medieval times, but doesn’t really become popular until a few centuries later. Covered in a rich blend of spices, it’s been called many different things over the ages. Grab a nice thick slice of bread, some grainy mustard and join me as we explore the history and origins of Ireland’s spiced beef.
In today’s episode I share just a little bit of book club news, then we get into chapter 2 of The Chimes by Charles Dickens.
Things get a little spooky in this chapter, as Trotty helps a stranger and his young neice. Then while reading the news one evening he comes across a tragic story… and begins to hear the ghostly call of The Chimes. Find out what happens in today’s chapter!

After three years, our journey through 1985’s Santa Claus: The Movie (1985) comes to an end as the final credits roll. Plus: Our definitive lists of elf names and elf puns are finally revealed, as is the grand total of minutes for both Santa and Patch.
We promise to return someday to talk about the last remaining pieces of SC: TM media. Stay tuned!
Join us as we discuss Minute 108 of Santa Claus: The Movie (1985)
What’s up, dudes? Christmas Eve in Gotham: uptown, the streets are filled with last-minute shoppers and the cheering jingle of chimes. But here, in the forgotten part of the city, the streets are almost deserted, save for a handful of scavengers and their unfortunate victim—and the very special sort of vengeance which lurks in the sheltering shadows! That vengeance is Santa Ambassador Matt Spaulding from North Pole Radio and Thom Crowe from ‘Tis the Podcast who join me to talk “Batman Monthly,” a 1988 UK comic from London Editions Magazine which reprinted older Batman stories.
Volume 6 contains two classic Batman stories. In “Have Yourself a Deadly Little Christmas,” Batman races to rescue a young girl from death by suicide. In his way stands the Blockbuster! In “Silent Night, Deadly Night,” Denny O’Neil tells a tale of redemption when Batman helps a desperate and disgruntled former employee of a toymaker make up for his misdeeds.
With the likes of Len Wein, Denny O’Neil, and Dick Giordano on these stories in “Batman Monthly,” the Batman’s humanity shines through! Christmas tree lot fight? Yup. Attempted strangulation with Christmas lights? Of course. Bruised and beaten Santas? Definitely. So grab your pipe tobacco present, hop in the Batmobile, and drive into this episode!
This week, travel with Julia, Thom, and Anthony to Philadelphia to discuss the one – and, so far, only – Christmas episode of ABC’s hit comedy, “Abbott Elementary“! If you want to follow along at home, the episode they dive deep on is Season 2’s Episode 10: “Holiday Hookah”! Not only do they rave about this holiday episode, and the show overall in general, but they also read off Matt Eurich’s casting suggestions regarding which teacher on the show corresponds to which elf, and play a bit of audio submitted by the totally rad Gerry D. and his wife, Tiffany, about “Abbott Elementary” and their own teaching experiences!
Also discussed: this year’s Oscar’s ceremony; Julia’s kids’ Ireland trip; the local Tulsa production of “Hamilton” that Thom saw; Anthony’s mini-reviews of “Scream VI“, “Creed III“, and “65“; Thom’s experience with hookah; and much, much more!
This is one fun, laugh-a-minute episode you want to be sure not to miss! And make sure to listen through the credits for one last surprise/laugh!
Enjoy, y’all! As always, thanks for your love and support! 🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

“The best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud to hear!”
In anticipation for my next deep dive, Robert looks at his personal favorite Christmas elves in various movies and TV specials. While there are plenty of the traditional ones that live at the North Pole and make toys, some of the choices will branch outside the box.
We’ve got techno-savy elves, spy-elves, space alien elves, scary elves and even one set of non-elves. Its an elfing list galore!
