With music and stories for Thanksgiving, host John Birge creates a thoughtful, contemporary reflection on the meaning of the holiday. For listeners in the kitchen, on the road, or relaxing after the feast, Giving Thanks provides the perfect atmosphere for Thanksgiving: the warmth of great music, and truly memorable words.

Two guests join us at the table: Nora Ephron, best-selling writer and movie director, and Roy Blount Jr., writer and regular on NPR's “Wait Wait…Don't Tell Me!”
