We’re kicking off your Thanksgiving week with some timely talk about the all-time best Thanksgiving foods. Please feel free to come roast us for all of our weird, terrible food choices, but the heart wants what it wants! Before we get into the book talk, we’re announcing some really exciting new merch, and listening to the most heartwarming voicemail that made Emily’s husk of a heart grow three times its size. Happy Thanksgiving to all of our listeners, we are THE MOST thankful for you, today and everyday.
