EP23. Thanksgiving Narratives
from Tales In Our Times Hosted by Timothy Davis
On this episode, George and Janet review the fallacies surrounding the Thanksgiving holiday. We give a super late status update on the Booker Prize (congratulations in the present, Mr Lynch!), unpack some of the narratives surrounding Thanksgiving, and take a look at some good alternative options for honest narratives of the history. George does way too much of an uwu voice, and we try our best to wring a laugh or two out of a stunningly depressing topic. Check out the Booker Prize’s YouTube (linked on our website) to hear some actor-narrated sections from the books on their shortlist! See below for books mentioned!
