As you would expect, Steve Post, host of The NO SHOW, is brimming with good cheer in this holiday season. Hear Steve go “Ho-ho-ho.” Listen to his parsing of the secret meaning of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” (Clue: “SANTA” is an anagram of “SATAN.”) Marvel at Steve's effrontery as he attempts to sing-along. The music will go down best with eggnog.
