Does Santa Claus use GPS? What has Scrooge learned from the three ghosts? Who would win in a fight between the two?

These are actual questions that are asked and answered on the latest episode of The Booth 46 Podcast, as Steve Dale is visited (and joined) by actor Chiké Johnson and theatre writer/reviewer Alan Bresloff for a fun conversation at Petterino’s. Chiké plays Ebenezer Scrooge, not just on this podcast but also at The Goodman Theatre in this year’s production of A Christmas Carol. And on his best behavior, Al is dressed as Santa Claus, but you can also read his work on AroundTheTownChicago.com.

As you listen to ‘Booth 46’ live from Petterino’s, and overhear the clanking of glasses, conversations from other booths, forks hitting plates and more, swipe through the photos below from the Episode 9 podcast recording to feel even more like you’re there.
