About This Podcast
It’s like Santa Claus.
As a suspect.
On Dateline.
In the South.
Basically… everything your meemaw warned you about.
When Santa gets booked into the county jail, amateur podcaster Richie Buck fires up his microphone and his best “investigative” voice to clear the Big Man’s name. What follows is a holly-jolly whodunnit featuring disgruntled elves, an Easter Bunny with IBS, and some of your favorite true crime podcasters narrating the chaos.
Santa Maybe, a Criminal is a festive true-crime satire that asks the only question worth asking this holiday season:
Is Santa… maybe… a criminal?
