#5 Michelle Visage and RuPaul’s holiday podcast

The Paragon Collective has released a four episode installment of a holiday scripted musical comedy podcast.

Visage plays the title role, Santa’s first wife, on trial for his murder, with a cast including Kristin Chenoweth, Lewis Black, Ru, and Nancy Grace.

“The story of SANTA CLAUS is a simple way to teach young people about karma and speak to the duel reality that we live in,” said RuPaul. “This is a fun way to keep the storyline going and put our spin on all of it.”
