Ep 139: Christmas special - Santa, sport and out-takes



It's scarcely believable that another Christmas has rolled around! I hope that 2010 has been a wonderful year for you.

In this year's Christmas podcast, I've compiled some of my favourite segments from the last few years. First up, I chat to Bianca Nogrady, who assembled a crack team of health experts to look into the health of Santa Claus. Not only does he eat copious amounts of sugar and drink gallons of beer, he is also at risk of altitude sickness, deep-vein thrombosis, jet-lag, zoonotic diseases from exposure to wild reindeer and countless other problems associated with lack of sleep and poor diet. Not to mention all the concerns associated with smoking. However, he does compile the naughty/nice list each year, keeping his mind active, and unlike many other elderly folk, he gets out of the house and travels. You can read more about the findings of the Santa-team in Bianca's original article Health alert for Christmas visitor, and also at Ep 98: Santa Claus - a fat, diabetic substance abuser?

Next up is a classic out-take from Diffusion Science Radio from the velvet-voiced Matt Clarke discussing the fact that some women are allergic to their partner's semen. You will also hear the laughing of myself, Darren Osborne, Lachlan Whatmore and Tilly Boleyn (and possibly Ian Woolf). These same folk then join me in an interesting, and irreverent, take on some of the mental aspects of cricket. These recordings were originally released in the episode North Koreans, Mammoths, Invisibility and what did not make it to air on the Diffusion Radio Science Show.

Take care this break, and see you in the new year, when my family will have expanded by one!

  3. A visit to a grotto, Christmas show or winter festival is an annual tradition for many families, but if Santa has to wear a mask, the magic can be lost. Santa Claus, also known as Father Christmas, St. Nicholas, St. Nick, Chris Kringle, or simply Santa, is a legendary character born in Western Christian culture who is said to play with Christmas toys for well-behaved children. And bring candy gifts, and nothing but coals or naughty kids.

She has been recognised and awarded by many Hindi and Marathi literary societies. Malti’s stories are heart touching. She says about her stories, “Life’s small sensations and memorable moments, I string together in my stories. These experiences may be mine, or of people close to me, the number and spread of whom is vast. As it is, a writer does not feel about herself alone, most of the joys and so
