Merry Winter Break from the Dodge Intrepid Radio Show

As Christmas draws near, it's time for another Dodge Intrepid Christmas Special. This is the third year that James and I wrote and recorded a special online-exclusive holiday adventure. The first year, we did it just as a gift to hand out to friends and family; last year we put a little extra time in to it and made it something bigger; this year's episode is a 26-minute yuletide extravaganza.

The premise is two-fold: our heroic librarian, Dodge Intrepid, doesn't have time to get in the Christmas mood because he has to prepare the library for a ten-year review, which could determine whether or not it's merged with a neighboring library. Meanwhile, Dodge's grandfather, Edsel, who is the mayor of Aliquippa, has legislated that every place of business have a department-store-Santa Claus present at all times; that includes the bank, the post office, the bail bondsman, and, yes, the Aliquippa National Library.

Our new Christmas special touches on a number of classic Christmas tales, including Miracle on 34th Street, and a classic legend about a statue being reincarnated as a vagrant (also known as the MacGyver Christmas episode, "Madonna"). It was a heck of a lot of fun to write and perform, and I hope that everyone can enjoy it with friends this holiday season.
