Liner Notes: Talking Turkey

Around Noon will not be heard today so ideastream® can bring you the following holiday special. With host Paul Holdengraber, the guests told how and where they celebrate Thanksgiving, what they cook, with whom they dine, how the literature they love captures the essence of food, family and other things for which they are grateful. The roundtable explored: Harvest feasts, ancient Old World wheat rituals, Native American corn festivals, heritage turkeys, turkey hunting in Montana, why pumpkin pies, why eat too much, James Joyce’s Dubliners (the dinner,) & chronic family disasters.

Dave DeOreo is coordinating producer for Ideastream Public Media’s arts and culture team.
