Thanksgiving, Franksgiving, and Sara Josepha Hale - The Thanksgiving Special (Again...) Nov 25, 2021

Show notes

If you're thinking you might have heard this one before, well... you might have, it's the Thanksgiving Special on one of my favorite topics... Beavers?!?
So, you might know why you celebrate Thanksgiving, but does anyone know why we all celebrate it? Explore the origins of Thanksgiving, find out what the heck "Franksgiving" is, and of course, I had to sneak in a chat about Beavers. I cut the ads, cleaned up the audio, but overall... even I enjoyed listening to this one again, and I would be "thankful" if you would too!
Cheers!
Key content: Beavers, Plymouth, First Thanksgiving, Franksgiving and FDR, Washington, Lincoln, Sara Josepha Hale
I remastered the original, cut out the ads, and re-released it for all our new comers to the show.
