Tales from the Northern Workshop

Workshop isn't your grandmother's Christmas podcast – it's a darkly whimsical journey into the strange truths behind holiday magic, narrated by a Santa who's seen too much to maintain comfortable illusions.

Each episode peels back another layer of festive veneer to reveal the bizarre machinery of Christmas itself. From The List that hungers for more than just names, to Mrs. Claus's kitchen where she preserves more than just cookies, to the workshop's deeper chambers where toys remember what they used to be – these are the stories of what really happens when magic and manufacturing collide at the top of the world.

Join us weekly as Santa himself reveals the secret histories, philosophical quandaries, and existential mysteries that come from centuries of serving as humanity's designated wonder-maker. Discover why the elves won't enter certain workshop wings after midnight, why some Christmas carols can only be sung backwards, and what really happens to children who peek at their presents too early.

Tales from the Northern Workshop: Where holiday magic meets midnight philosophy, and every Christmas miracle has a price.

Content Warning: Contains elements of psychological horror, dark whimsy, and philosophical musings that may forever change how you see candy canes.
