About this listen
What if Christmas itself needed rescuing… from Santa?!
In this special end-of-season episode, Andy welcomes his traditional guest: Santa. Except this year, something’s... off.
Santa sounds robotic, obsessed with efficiency, and surprisingly keen on replacing elves with 3D printers. Before long, AI Santa is talking KPIs, surveillance elves, and children asking for tactical flamethrowers. Christmas is on the brink - optimised, automated, and completely soulless.
Just when things get properly Black Mirror, the real Santa bursts in, boots stomping, jingles flying, to shut down his malfunctioning metallic twin. What follows is classic Santa wisdom... that happiness is getting drowned out by noise, presence matters more than presents, and joy doesn’t need upgrading. AI might be clever... but only humans know how it feels to be truly connected.
The episode wraps with both Santa's giving their verdict on what we need most this year - and spoiler... only one of them gets the answer right.
A funny, warm, surprisingly moving Christmas finale about slowing down, switching off, and remembering that the real magic isn’t in the tech... it’s in each other.
