Ho ho ho. Today we're covering one of Cam's stories, a silly and dark riff on Christmas classics called The Christmas Donkey. 

Listen to the story here: https://cameronfucile.bandcamp.com/track/the-christmas-donkey 

We start with a discussion about self-imposed creative limitations before Cam describes the specific challenges that face Christmas stories and his ridiculous production schedule for this project - from idea to finished product, he did all of it in one day (Christmas Eve 2020). We also discuss the innumerable difficulties / pitfalls of political comedy, the importance of "replay value" and original iconography in holiday classics, and why Bernie Sanders should be President right now. Maggie deduces that Santa isn't real.
