Listen "Santa Plc - A Play About Economics "
Episode Synopsis
Imagine a world where Santa was forced to put shareholder value ahead of spreading joy to millions of children across the world. In this new play by your friendly neighbourhood economists, Pete and Gav, this scenario is explored... and along the way modern day business practices are discussed and the economics of Christmas are "mulled" over. Tensions rise... Will Santa embrace the ‘enshittification’ of Christmas or will he find the true meaning of Christmas once more? Listen to the play and see what you think and try to spot the four Christmas cracker jokes within! Thanks always goes to Nic for sprinkling Christmas magic all over it and to Kate for being the narrator. And thanks to the Bella the Cat for the merciless heckling as the play reaches its climax.
