If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s more to thanksgiving than turkeys, shopping and football, then do we have the Thanksgiving Show for you!
Today I’ll be talking with Melanie Kirkpatrick, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, former deputy editor of the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page, and the award-winning author of Escape from North Korea, and her latest Thanksgiving.
And that’s just what I want to talk with her about today, what’s the true holiday at the heart of the American Experience.
That plus we’ll talk about Franksgiving, Unthanksgiving, Mary had a little lamb, why pumpkin pie’s a myth, why no one landed at Plymouth rock, and why in the world a writer in Hong Kong, might think thanksgiving is independence day,
