MORE ABOUT CANDY CLAUS, PRIVATE EYE

***

CANDY CLAUS, PRIVATE EYE is a half-hour comedy fiction podcast about Santa’s bastard daughter solving hardboiled Christmas crimes on the North Pole.

A sendup of toxic positivity and holiday homecomings, this award-winning podcast stars Kyle Kinane as Santa, and MISSION TO ZYXX co-creator Moujan Zolfaghari plays Minty, Candy’s irrepressibly cheerful elf sidekick.
