This is a Season Ten bonus episode, following on immediately after the previous episode ‘The Glassworker’ with Lene D. Kottal. This episode will make much more sense (?!) if you listen to that one first.

When Andrew’s old friend Santa visits him and his guest Lene, not all is as it appears. When Santa begins acting strangely, they flee for their lives. Santa is actually a malfunctioning AI replacement!

Thank you

Thank you to everyone who has listened to our Season Ten episodes – we really appreciate all of the comments, likes, sharing, emails, and downloads. The podcast has continued to grow throughout this year.

Thank you also to our wonderful guests who brought us such fascinating episodes this series; Dr. Wanda Wyporska, Simon Howard, DearMYRTLE, Roberto and Ramón Parra, Kathy Wilshaw, Simon Young and Lene D. Kottal. Also, huge thanks go to John Spike for continuing to breathe life into Sándor Petőfi (we’ll give you some even tougher lines next year!), and to Peter Baker who brought our old friend Santa to life and then to an end too (that’s life, I guess). Thank you once again to Rafael Krux for the beautiful theme music.

You’ll no doubt have heard some advertising this year from Pharos Tutors. Thank you to them for running adverts in our episodes. If you’d like to see what courses they have to offer, then just head over to their site.

For now though, have a wonderfully Happy Christmas time, and we’ll be back in 2026 for Season 11, and hopefully a few other episodes too! Hop onto our email list to keep up to date.

Thank you,

Andrew
