Special Episode Tales From The Cube - Night Before Christmas

About this episode

This episode features a modern retelling of the classic poem 'A Visit From Saint Nicholas' with a call centre twist.

This short episode features a special redo version of A Visit From Saint Nicholas, or more well known as the Night Before Christmas. It has a twist as it is based on the call centre theme. In 1990, I enrolled and took Radio Broadcasting at Mohawk College, part of the course requirement was to write and record this classic poem in a more modern way. To say the least, I did not do well with this assignment. So this version today is also a long overdo make - up and is also dedicated to Mr. Brian Bolt, our main course instructor. Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays
