Christmastime and audio drama just go together so well. Getting comfortable in a warm home and turning on a great story is a delightful way to spend a winter evening.

Lastly, the following two productions are not new this year, but they were both re-released as podcasts this year so I wanted to mention them too.
What begins as a typical, predictable... okay - boring Christmas for Gary and Caroline Harbin is utterly shattered by a surprise visit from Gary's long lost mother, Maddie, who's been AWOL for six years!

Turns out Morey is much more than a friend! Could it get any worse? Gary wants answers! What's his mother doing - chumming around with a Las Vegas, eh, comedian? And how could Morey actually know more about Christmas than they do? Is this some kind of joke? And why is Gary's mom happier than she's ever been?
