Is Santa Claus Turkish: Chris Rea, Driving Home for Christmas (in a Mini)

Is Santa Claus Turkish: Chris Rea, Driving Home for Christmas (in a Mini)


Our 50th episode unwraps a festive tangle of the surreal, the satirical and the sentimental.


Was Santa Claus actually Turkish? What was Chris Rea driving home in for Christmas — was it a Mini? And how does Morgan Freeman punish George R. R. Martin for not finishing Game of Thrones?


In The Lickey End Chronicles, Norma’s seducing the local postman after Putin forgets to thank her for some lovingly-knitted socks. Betty reveals James is from Belfast, triggering a lusty memory involving Sammy Wilson MP and an awkward moment with a religious identity crisis. Will Norma get her turkey basted?


Plus: Honzie returns with festive and fraudulent horoscopes for modern-day Marys and Josephs.


And in a more heartfelt moment, we pay tribute to the great Shane MacGowan, who died this week — a poet, a punk, and a Christmas icon in his own right.


A deranged and touching Christmas special from Talking Istanbullocks — the British/Irish cult comedy podcast blending sketch satire, character lunacy and unexpected sincerity.
