Ep. 6 - Turkey Talk and Bathroom Tales: A Thanksgiving Special with Ellie!

In Episode 6 of Everything is Local, we've got a twist for you. Shana is off busy shopping for Black Friday deals at Ace Hardware in Aurora while getting ready for her cruise, but don’t worry—we have a very special guest joining us today: my ten-year-old daughter, Ellie Burkons! Ellie has been eagerly waiting for her moment on the podcast, especially since Shana has had her turn. We dive into some light-hearted, family-friendly banter about dad jokes (Ellie might not find them funny anymore), touch on the true love-hate relationship we all have with Thanksgiving turkey (spoiler: we don't really like it), and Ellie’s big investigative reporting adventure at her school’s bathroom—a story that’s as hilarious as it is… well, let’s say “eye-opening.”Plus, we chat about the holiday spirit, the unseen struggles of lunch ladies, why traditional Thanksgiving dishes might not be as beloved as we pretend, and the booming podcasting scene here in Northeast Ohio as we prepare for the busy holiday season. So grab your leftovers, settle into your cozy spot, and join us for a quick yet entertaining episode filled with turkey truths, family stories, and a little bit of childhood mischief. Remember, everything is local! Don’t forget to rate, review, and share the podcast—your support means the world to us!
