Welcome back to The Trial of Santa Claus - the Christmas podcast that has appointed you as a member of our jury.

Over 12 days in our Christmas court, you will decide whether our chimneys should be blocked this year, or if we should unclamp Rudolf and let the sleigh ride high once again?

In today's court proceedings, the prosecution and the defence - led by Kelly Crichton and Dan McLaughlin - will ask whether it should be 'Oh Yes It Is!' or 'Oh No It Isn't!' to pantomimes. Is there nothing like dame, or should we put the British theatre tradition behind us?

After hearing the evidence, we are inviting you - the members of the jury - to have your say about today's court proceedings. Visit our Twitter page @LaudablePods to vote on whether you agree with the prosecution or the defence.

And come back tomorrow for another day in our Christmas court, as Santa's salvation or incarceration edges nearer.

The Trial of Santa Claus is a Laudable production, presented and produced by Kelly Crichton, Dan McLaughlin, and Matt Millard. The podcast was created by Dan McLaughlin.
