It's a Wonderful Lie

1,702

It’s a Wonderful Lie is a short-form comedy podcast that imagines the hilarious “truth” hidden in your holiday newsletters. They come via mail, email, and Facebook post. The ubiquitous “holiday newsletter” from friends and family reminding you just how great life has been for them over the past year. From boring to bragging, and always chock full of BS. It's a Wonderful Lie imagines the messy stories hidden behind the perfect holiday newsletters. Of course, we’re reading between the lines— but that’s the fun of the podcast.It’s for anyone who has rolled their eyes at receiving a Christmas update.

So much fun to laugh and wander in thought at the lightheartedness of anonymous family letters.

Your humor and light topic are sorely missed! Please come back for another season!!

More episodes!

I miss this show!
glowsandwich

More please!!

When this show first launched, I was in a bad place (I’m sure we can all relate) but instead of bringing up soured memories, re-listening every year breathes a breath air into the busy and stressful holiday season. I always wish for more each year and with the addition of a teaser for another show in November I was really hopeful! Though that recent activity on this show’s page didn’t lead to a 2023 season it seems, I still love listening back and appreciating the levity during this time of year. It gets me through the manufactured pleasantries and relentless well wishes!

More! More!

These gave us our Covid Christmas joy and since then, listening to them is a holiday tradition at our house. We’ve been wishing for more, enjoying old episodes, and hoping the old episodes stay available. I understand that you may have moved onto other projects but know that if you make a 2024 season, it will fill many hearts with the joy and magic of the season.

Please come back!

I could listen to this year round! I hope you come back. I was looking forward to it last year and then hoping it would be back this year. For now, I’ll just relisten to all the old ones.
B. Sche

I love this podcast, I hope you bring this back!! I honestly would listen to it all year, but it’s especially great to have a comedic break during the holidays. I am listening to all the episodes again this year!

Perfect Way to Get Into the Holiday Season- More!!!!!

This has become part of my holiday tradition. Love listening to this while I go on walks with my kiddo and dog. It makes me literally laugh out loud and smile with all the best holiday feelings! I was so sad there wasn't a new season last year. It would make my Christmas if new episodes were released!

Best Holiday Podcast Ever!!

The letters are great, and the readings are perfect! I think I may know some of these people. I’m asking Santa to bring us all a new season of It's a Wonderful Lie.

LOVE THIS PODCAST!

Absolutely love this podcast. Happened upon it when listening to Crime Junkie and had to check it out. As always, Ashley Flowers is amazing, but her co-hosts are just as amazing. They are all hilarious and I love that I can get ready for the holiday season while laughing my butt off! Was SUPER DISAPPOINTED that there wasn’t one this year. 😢😢 Hoping and praying there is one in 2023. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Every episode brings me so much joy and laughter as the hosts dive deep into some seriously cringeworthy holiday cards. Would love to see a new season next year!

No 2022 episodes….., So sad

I loved this podcast when I first heard it last Christmas. I have been looking forward all year to hearing a new episode . I’ve recommended it to friends. I’m so sad that it doesn’t seem to be coming back in 2023. Please reconsider for next year please.
