Tracker Elves and the Search for Santa
/

In a new episode of the Santa Trackers Podcast Elf Crash Murphy answers questions posted by many of our tracker elves.

Elf Frank Myrrh asks Crash about how tracker elves can aid in the search for Santa. They talk about a wide range of questions related to where Santa might be, how he is dressed and how he might respond if he is spotted.

In addition, Elf Crash talks about specifics of the Tracker Elf program, including an important update on the Elf Evaluations that many trackers have been anxious to receive.

Elf Crash talks about the odds of finding Santa and what Santa’s prolonged absence from the North Pole means for everyone working to track Santa for Santa.

It’s a long episode and many of you are mentioned in it.

Elf Crash expects this episode to likely raise more questions and he is encouraging all elves to ask their questions either in the comments below or on the Elf Wall so that he can address them in an upcoming episode of the Santa Trackers Podcast.

Elf Frank Myrrh, North Pole Radio News lead news anchor, gets personal in a new episode of the Santa Trackers Podcast.

In this episode Elf Crash Murphy hijacks the hosting duties in the podcast to interview Frank. Crash asks questions on behalf of fans and listeners who have written in. Crash attempts to get a little information about Frank, including where he is from and how he got into radio.

Frank does tell his elf story, albeit hesitantly. But when it comes to the questions from fans that’s when things take a very interesting turn.

This episode was prepared in advance of the Elf Chat with Elf Frank Myrrh scheduled this weekend on SantaTrackers.net.

If you have additional questions for Frank in advance of the chat, feel free to ask them in the comments below.

Questions from Students and Teachers
/

Questions from students and teachers are featured in the newest episode of the Santa Trackers Podcast. I have been talking with school teachers from around the world for several months and answering their questions – well, most of their questions.

This episode features questions Elf Crash Murphy answers – and that’s because he follows Santa on Christmas Eve to report news of Santa’s flight on Kringle Radio. As expected, Crash’s experience proves very useful in answering some very tough questions.

I have more questions – but we’re saving those for an episode that will be appearing soon as part of the North Pole Podcast at SantaUpdate.com.

Do you have questions? Don’t be afraid to message them to me here on SantaTrackers.net or in the comments below. Your question might get featured on a podcast!

New Podcast Discusses the Great Sleigh Debate
/

Elf Trixie told us about it a week ago: all kinds of debate is raging about Santa’s Sleigh.

In an all new podcast episode Elves Frank Myrrh and Crash Murphy discusses the great sleigh debate and why it is not really that big of a deal. In fact, Elf Crash says it is hardly news.

This episode comes on the heels of another announcement just made about a change in the sleigh’s design. The next version of the sleigh will begin test flights this next week in Sector 1.

Where is this whole thing going? What does it mean for Santa and Christmas?

And, more importantly, what does it mean for tracker elves?

Give a listen to Frank and Crash to find out.

Tracker Elf Press Conference Coverage

The annual tracker elf press conference where the new recruiting goal for tracker elves is announced is now underway. Please use the player embedded to listen to it instead of the live Kringle Radio feed, which we understand is experiencing some technical issues this morning. We have been told that the events today are being recorded and will be made available on all websites as well as on Kringle Radio for a short time.

This is a major announcement, elves. For months we have been hearing about the importance of this July 11th event.

I have been told that after the news is announced we will be putting together a chat schedule for the rest of July in Elf Chat to discuss this announcement and answer your questions.

Christmas in July at the North Pole

Christmas in July at the North Pole
/

Christmas in July is the topic of this brief new episode of the Santa Trackers Podcast with elves Frank & Crash.

There’s a big difference between Elf Frank and Elf Crash. Crash is a very social elf who participates in most big events at the North Pole, while Elf Frank tends to hold back a little due to his duties in reporting the news. So Crash hosts the podcast this time around and speaks more to the events of Christmas in July at the North Pole.

The bigger question of course is how elves who are NOT at the North Pole and how they can celebrate Christmas in July. Elf Crash has some things for you to consider if you find yourself in this situation.

In all, it’s a quick episode with some good ideas. Enjoy.

Dummies and Fish in Barrels

Dummies and Fish in Barrels

A new episode of the Santa Trackers Podcast is out and it is all about the Elf Supervisors. For whatever reason, this episode is titled Dummies and Fish in Barrels.

The Elf Supervisor Conference was held last week in Costa Rica. The first ever event was called by Santa and Elf Roger Star to address changes in the tracker elf program that Santa is introducing this year.

According to Elf Crash Murphy the changes are significant. The Elf Supervisors are really the first outside of Santa and Elf Roger to learn of the changes. In this episode, Elf Crash shares his thoughts about the Elf Supervisors and what all the changes will mean to tracker elves who interact with the Elf Supervisors on SantaTrackers.net.

Also invited on this episode is Elf Petey LaCroix, a field tracker elf that is sometimes featured on the Tracking Santa Around the World Radio show that broadcasts live each Christmas Eve on Kringle Radio.

A field tracker is a tracker elf of a different sort. Just ahead of Santa’s launch every year Elf Petey and others of the field tracker team are dispatched to different places all over the world. Their task is to try to capture Santa in flight, so their positioning is well known in advance of Santa’s flight and planned to best capture data of Santa in flight from the ground. The work they do is just part of a large data gathering effort that is used to evaluate Santa’s flight.

Elf Petey, and all field trackers, work for the Elf Supervisors. Petey provides his perspective on the work that Elf Supervisors do and why he hopes for the best with changes coming this year.

Christmas in July is mentioned as a watershed event for all trackers, with news of all changes being made public at that time for trackers everywhere.

Focus Groups and Costa Rican Tacos

Focus groups and Costa Rican Tacos are talked about in this wide ranging new episode of the Santa Trackers Podcast. Elf Frank and Elf Crash try to get down to Santa’s strategy for this year. But Crash is especially feeling in the dark.

Santa and Elf Roger have led an effort to completely redesign the SantaTrackers.net website and to purge the Elf Community of “deadbeat” elves. But Elf Crash suspects the big changes are still ahead and it begins with this first-ever Elf Supervisor gathering in Costa Rica coming up soon.

Elf Crash was just assigned to help train that group but he has no idea what to say to them. In this episode elves Frank & Crash explore what they do know and what it can all mean for the months ahead.

Crash also shares some insights into Elf Max, who he met in person just a few months ago. He tells a great fishing story as well as the story of Elf Max’s elf journey.

Changes in the Elf World
/

Changes in the Elf World are afoot due to a report submitted to Santa by Elf Roger Star.

The report showed that very few of the 200 million registered elves the program has gathered in the past five years are actually sending in tracker reports to help track Santa for Santa. The topic has been a big part of the conversation between Santa and Elf Roger and it has already led to many changes. The website changeover is indicative of the changes yet to be announced and rumors in North Pole media have started to make some elves nervous.

In this episode Elf Frank Myrrh grills Elf Crash Murphy about what he knows and what he can say about the changes to come. Elf Crash explains that after 5 years Santa remains committed to the program but that changes are inevitable.

Parents and Belief in Santa

Parents and Belief in Santa
/

Parents and belief in Santa is the topic of this newest episode. Based on several messages recently received here at SantaTrackers.net this candid discussion covers many difficult questions.

We have the case of one boy, age 11, who is being bullied by his older brother for believing in Santa. How would you handle this situation?

Elf Frank Myrrh talks with Elf Crash Murphy about the dynamics of belief in Santa in families. Siblings rarely agree on anything but the situation where some believe in Santa while others do not can make Christmas – and tracking Santa – interesting.

But even more perplexing is the case of Jillian, who is 15 years old, having to deal with her Mom saying Santa is not real and what she should do about it. Her mother says she has been buying presents, stuffing stockings and writing letters from Santa for all of Jillian’s life. Jillian just doesn’t know what to do about it.

Frank is a little surprised at Elf Crash’s answers to that situation.

And finally, the question of what do you do when you believe in Santa but he never shows up to your house is addressed.

These are all complicated issues.

This is the first in a couple podcasts answering real questions from Santa trackers that Frank and Crash hope to push out before Santa takes off this year.
