A grown-up fairytale for the soul.
What if healing didn't come with instructions—but with a story?
Santa Land is a place for the dreamers, the seekers, and the beautifully misunderstood. Created and hosted by Tony Felice, this podcast offers weekly ten-minute story episodes followed by gentle reflections—part personal journey, part universal truth. In Season One Tony reads from Santa Land, In Season Two, Tony reads live from the classics like A Christmas Carol and Pinocchio in one take, character voices and all.
Guided by a wise little cricket, you'll explore identity, existence, grief, trauma, transformation… and the quiet, unwavering power of love.
Told like a bedtime story for grown-ups, Santa Land unfolds slowly and meaningfully, becoming both a peek behind the curtain of a writer's process—and a mirror for your own soul's unfolding.
This is for the ones who talk about math at weddings, philosophy at funerals, and carry a kind of magic that doesn't always fit.
But here? You do. We're here to love you.
Follow the cricket. Find the Santa Land inside you.
