In this week’s episode of The ArtsFam Podcast, hosts Lindsey Pommerenck and James LePore sat down with *drum roll* Santa Clause! Several topics were covered throughout the two part interview. The first part was an interview with Santa about his favorite cookies, what Mrs. Clause has been up to, and more. Part two peeled back the mystique of the mythic figure and gave viewers a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to become the jolly old fellow. Topics included the Santa Academy, the most heartwarming moments of being Santa, the funniest parts of the job, the origins of Santa Clause, and more! To enjoy this interview, check out the video at the top of this article!
