    The Santa Land Podcast with Tony Felice: Trailer
    2025/04/05
    Have you ever wished there was a place you could go… where you didn’t have to fit in, where you didn’t have to explain yourself— a place where you could just be… and still be loved? Welcome to Santa Land. I’m Tony Felice—and each episode, I’ll read you a ten-minute story from a grown-up fairytale I’ve written… followed by a quiet conversation about what it means. Tom is late, and his editor is tired of excuses. But Tom is dealing with the loss of his mother and a childhood terror that was never resolved. This is a sneak into the creative process. The heart behind the words. Like the cricket in my story, I’ll guide you through wonder and grief, through questions of existence, identity, and the soul’s journey— not with answers, but with love. By the end, you’ll have heard my whole story: a sneak into the creative process of bringing a book—and maybe even a heart—back to life. Santa Land is for those who talk about math at weddings, philosophy at funerals… and who carry a kind of magic that doesn’t always feel like it belongs. But it does. You do. So come sit with me. Follow the cricket. And find the Santa Land that’s already inside of you. New episodes every week. Subscribe now on your favorite podcast app.

With every word, every pause, and every breath, this story begins to unfold—not just as narrative, but as a quiet companion to your own inner journey. After the reading, Tony reflects on the emotional layers behind the story, the meaning of silence, and the first hints of what Santa Land truly is.

    In Chapter Three, Tom sits at the edge of a memory, the air around him full of whispers—some real, some imagined.

Amid this unfolding, we meet Kellie—the first of “The 5”—and glimpse the impact of a soul who saw him when he couldn’t fully see himself. This chapter is soft, scattered, human—just as creation often is. _____ Each week, a story and a reflection. A grown-up fairytale unfolding one chapter at a time.

    Chapter Four - Hidden Treasures
    2025/04/05
    Tom sifts through the small objects on his desk—trinkets, toys, forgotten gifts—and begins to wonder: what are these things trying to say? As he reflects on an old dowager who left nothing of value in her safety deposit box, he begins to question what we hold onto… and why. But the real reason for his delay becomes clear: Grief has arrived. With a tin star and a mouth full of empty promises, it brings its deputies—Fear and Doubt—ready to arrest him for the smallest of infractions. A meditation on what we keep, what we hide, and what grief leaves behind. _____ Each week, a story and a reflection. A grown-up fairytale unfolding one chapter at a time.

    In the second chapter of Santa Land, we meet Tom—the central figure in this grown-up fairytale. He’s sitting at his desk, wrestling with the opening line of his next novel. A sentence that won’t come. A deadline he can’t meet. A silence that won’t break. Tom is late. Past due. But what he’s really struggling with isn’t just the story—it’s what the story is asking him to face. This chapter is about beginnings. Or rather, the space before one begins. ____ Each week, a story and a reflection. A grown-up fairytale unfolding one chapter at a time.

  • Chapters Five and Six: Needs and a Clock / A Prism of Time

    Chapters Five and Six: Needs and a Clock / A Prism of Time
    2025/04/08
    Over breakfast, Tom makes a declaration: "All I have are needs and a clock." David listens quietly, as he always does—offering love and steadiness in the face of Tom’s unraveling thoughts. In this small, quiet chapter, David suggests a new way forward: write your truth, even if only for me. In Chapter Six, the story deepens. Tom reflects on his earlier novels—“teenagers run amok,” he calls them—and opens a window into the long arc of his life with David. Thirty years of love. Thirty years of weathering grief, of disappearing into one another… and slowly re-emerging. Then the call comes. Claire tells him to come home. Fast. He’s in London. The clock is ticking. The portal opens.
