Episode 123: The Origin Story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

We have one more Christmas gift for our listeners! Today we’re going to be talking about a holiday icon that began as a marketing stunt. (Let’s be honest. Sometimes it feels like Christmas is just one big marketing stunt.) But we’re with friends, so we're getting into the Christmas spirit. (Or spirits!)

Today we’re going to be talking about everyone’s favorite red-nosed reindeer, Rudolph, and his origin story from a retail store’s marketing department to being the guide at the front of Santa’s sleigh.

So ask the bartender for a couple of Rudolph’s Tipsy Spritzers because it’s the holiday season back here in the bar.
