Ho, ho, Holy Night! This issue is bursting at the seams! That's partly because I got a wave of Christmas-specific shows I needed to highlight right now. But it's also because the submissions have been pouring in! There's a very good chance your email client will truncate this puppy, so you may want to view this one in a web browser so you don't miss anything.
To help, I've added a new section to the end (heh) of the newsletter I call "ICYMI," and I'll use it to announce shows I've recently added to our database that weren't completed all that recently. That puts the focus on 'newly completed/finale'd/coming soon shows, but also gives some love to the gracious creators who are helping fill out backlog. (Though I'm partially ignoring that today, bumping all the Xmas-related shows to the top!)
Oh, and if you think this issue is Christmas-heavy: it is! 'Tis the season, after all.
Let's get into it, shall we?

The timeless and beloved Christmas classic comes to life!

When Red Tail National park shuts down due to a possible ecological disaster, three campers continued their trips, and two park rangers stayed to keep an eye on the radios. Recordings from these individuals were recovered and we now try to make sense of what happened.
A fantasy podcast about avoiding the main plot. It follows Rion, an adventurer who’s willing to help just about anyone out - as long as they’re not being asked to deal with the scary wizard everyone keeps talking about.
Ghostly adventures, witchcraft, old gods, haunted woods, ancient evils, and madness permeate these chilling tales. It’s like creepypasta, but all original stories and full-cast voice acting.
Adapted from the original Eagle comic strips – the first ‘Venus’ series onwards – and inspired by the 1951 Radio Luxembourg series, this is a new Dan Dare for our times, serialised in 15-minute episodes, as all good radio space opera should be!
