Brought to you by SantaUpdate.com the North Pole Podcast is produced by elves for believers of Santa Claus everywhere. Nowhere will you learn more about Santa, the North Pole, elf culture and Christmas than on this special podcast.
The latest episode of the North Pole Podcast features more questions and answers with Elves Frank and Crash.
First up is a question about Santa’s sack and its magical properties. Then, an extended conversation about Rudolph, the Reindeer Games and whether or not Rudolph will be able to be in the games this year.
It is the opinion of Elf Crash Murphy that Rudolph will likely have to sit out the games this year so that he can be made ready for Christmas.
Elf Frank finds that news distressing and shares that the News Department has been under fire by a certain group who doesn’t want the North Pole to share difficult news because it raises the anxiety levels in child listeners.
Frank and Crash discuss difficult news and the bullying that sometimes takes place upon believers who either share their beliefs or their service as elves.
This episode also discusses the Santa Tracker Advisor and his thoughts on being bullied for believing in Santa and being an elf.
In all, it is an episode that is both thoughtful and fun. You can listen through the player at the top of this post.
We hope you enjoy the discussion.

Questions from Believers
It is our annual North Pole Podcast episode where we answer questions from believers. A great many people, including school teachers, contributed questions for this episode.
We explore topics about why people in England call Santa Father Christmas, how to get off the naughty list, the North Pole Hall of Records and whether or not you have to be asleep for Santa to come to your house.
In a twist on this traditional episode Elf Frank and I trade places, with me asking the questions and Frank answering them.
Of course, Frank butchers the answers in non-stop fashion. It’s different, but this episode provides some pretty revealing details about some of the most common mysteries of Santa and Christmas.
If you have a question to ask, please stop by the North Pole Podcast page and click the link to Ask Crash – and we’ll maybe answer it in a future North Pole Radio News report or another episode.
Enjoy.

The Next Chapter in Elf on the Shelf
An all-new episode of the North Pole Podcast discusses the Next Chapter in Elf on the Shelf.
Crash and I have two guests in this episode, the first is Elf Horace Feeney, who invented Elf on the Shelf many years ago. You can hear his story in the podcast episode we did last December titled “New Discoveries About Elf on the Shelf”.
That episode came after a season of feedback from people asking for help with their elves. We found some out there to be unhappy.
So Santa authorized a survey which has been running since that time to learn more about what the Elf on the Shelf experience out there was like.
The results of that survey has created a new effort at the North Pole called the Visiting Elf Program.
That program is led by Elf Buddy McFudge, who has already posted a great deal of information this year on Santa Update and how that new program works. He joins us on the episode to discuss how your elf can work under Santa’s direction here on Santa Update.
It’s a forward-looking episode we hope you enjoy.
