You know Dasher and Dancer and etc., etc. But do you recall, the time when Santa was a self-obsessed slave driver concerned only with outer beauty? Of course you do, because it’s the plot of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, that Rankin/Bass holiday classic that has reinforced gender stereotypes and bizarrely sadistic dental practices for generations! There’s a lot to dig into for the crew this week, so join them as they talk about North Pole labor practices, the ethical implications of Reindeer Games, and whether or not Mrs. Clause is trying to slowly poison Santa. Listeners, with your ears so bright, won’t you join our podcast tonight?
