Thanksgiving Tales, Football Fever, and Our Upcoming Farewell

from An Americanist · host Carol Marks

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITEver thought about how swiftly time flies as Thanksgiving approaches, or how those sweet potato dumplings are always the first to disappear from the table? As we chat about visiting Gracie's new house and our favorite holiday dishes, we can't help but take a detour down memory lane with a humorous critique of Humphrey Bogart's unforgettable cinematic moments. With exaggerated fight scenes and love stories that have us chuckling, we ponder how storytelling in movies has transformed over the years. It's a lively start to our episode, filled with nostalgia and the anticipation of holiday cheer.As the playoff season heats up, our discussion turns to the thrilling world of football, where the unexpected rise of the Detroit Lions and the fresh energy of young quarterbacks have us on the edge of our seats. Comparing college and professional leagues, we debate the merits of the expanded College Football Playoff format with a bit of skepticism. We even throw in a nod to Seinfeld's essence of overthinking before making a heartfelt announcement: this podcast will wrap up on December 8th. But don't fret! We're excited to tease our next big project, "The Melania Memoirs: A Return to Grace," ready to grace your ears soon. Plus, we reminisce about the days of transitioning from the kids' table to the adult table at family gatherings, capturing the essence of childhood and family traditions.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening! Liberty Line each week on Sunday, look for topics on my X file @americanistblog and submit your 1-3 audio opinions to [email protected] and you'll be featured on the podcast. Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREESupport the showTip Jar for coffee $ - Thanks  Music by Alehandro Vodnik from PixabayBlog - AnAmericanist.comX - @americanistblog
