It's an encore presentation of A Nihilist Family Christmas special, now a yearly tradition on the Nihilist Podcast Network. Nestled beneath the outline of snow-capped mountains sits the all-American town of Lutzen. The honest folk there are going about their business, getting in their cars and driving home, having fully exchanged their short day for money paper. The children, having finished assembling their rotund snowpeople, disperse and return to their quaint suburban homes. It’s a good town, if such a thing is possible. And at the end of Shaw St, halfway around the cul-de-sac, lives our own Nihilist Family. Discover the true meaning of Christmas along with Martha and Jimothy Sr., and their children Reese, Jimmy Jr., and the baby -- not to mention Sallie the dog -- in this radio drama. A Nihilist Family Christmas is presented for your enjoyment by Cookie Pie Cakes. The Dorky Teen was played by Patrick Habersang Mac The Bartender was played by Paul Obarowski Jimothy Jr. was played by Alicia Watkins Reese was played by Emily Petersen Jimothy Sr. was played by Drew Brathwaite And Martha was played by Chion Wolf Special thanks to Sallie the dog, and the baby, who played themselves.

It's a Nihilist Family Summer Vacation special! Floating in the endless void of blackness, there sits a tiny point of light. And in that warmth, the tiny little life on a tiny speck of sand flourishes. Vegetation opens its leaves, insects emerge from their dormancy, and the humans, in turn, also emerge from their own insulated cocoons. During this annual emergence, some humans will embark on a trip away from their regular homes, to a different, temporary home in a new location. This respite from reality is often a time for both fun activities, and rest-and-relaxation. And so we find our Nihilist family participating in that tradition. Join them as they head to their vacation spot, at the beach. Discover the true meaning of summer vacation along with Martha and Jimothy Sr., and their children Reese, Jimmy Jr., and the baby -- not to mention Sallie the dog -- in this radio drama.
