Greetings, and welcome to The End Last Week, This Week, and Next Week, the podcast companion to The End, the website and newsletter that shines a light back on audio fiction shows after they've reached the finale of a season or the conclusion of the series. I am your host and the curator of The End, Evo Terra.

Because this is the last issue before Christmas, I’m slightly changing the format of this episode because I got a bunch of Christmas-themed shows to mention.

So with that small disclaimer… Let’s get into it, shall we, and start with…

Christmas Week

The most recent issue of The End—the 68th—highlighted 5 shows that are Christmas-themed. My two favorites you’ll hear about in a moment, but there are three others you may be interested in if you feel like binging holiday-focused audio fiction while you wrap presents or whatever.

❤️🎄🎅🏻 • Tune Into Christmas,a dramatized heartwarming collection of Christmas tales told through 50's era radio from Elizabeth Hansen & Dramafy, is ready for you. It’s a complete series with only three short episodes for a total listening time of 27 minutes.

❤️🎄🎁 • A Gift, a dramatized faith-based Christmas tale from Matthew P. Woerner,  AudioImagination77 Productions, and Dramafy, is also in your stocking. You only need an hour to listen to the single episode of this complete story.

🪄🎄🎶 • Jimmy and the Star Angel, a dramatized Christmas fantasy musical from Jerry Robins, Colonial Radio Theatre, and Dramafy. has been completed since 2016, but we’ve wrapped it in a nice bow for you. Give yourself just over an hour and a half to listen to both episodes.
