Happy Thanksgiving, from all of us here at KDLG!
No matter how you celebrate the day, we hope you'll make KDLG part of that celebration. We're giving the staff some much needed rest for the holiday and adding a couple of special holiday programs for your enjoyment.

11am - 1pm - Giving Thanks: A Celebration of Fall, Food and Gratitude
With music and stories for Thanksgiving, its Giving Thanks. New for 2013, two wise, witty women join us at the table: Julia Sweeney, celebrated writer and actor; and Anne Lamott, best-selling author. Classical music is the heart and soul of the original Giving Thanks. This year features a tribute to Bach, including Simone Dinnerstein; Eric Whitacre’s gorgeous setting of e.e. cumming’s i thank You God for most this amazing day; and Dawn Upshaw sings Maria Schneider’s breathtaking new setting of Winter Morning Walks by Poet Laureate Ted Kooser.

12pm - 2pm - A Splendid Table: Turkey Confidential 2013
On Thursday, November 28, help is on the way for Thanksgiving cooks, kitchen helpers and dinner guests on this, the biggest cooking day of the year. Lynne Rossetto Kasper, award-winning host of public radio's national food show The Splendid Table, will be available to answer listener questions throughout the live, two-hour program. Quickly becoming a Thanksgiving morning tradition, past shows have included everything from a cross-country trucker cooking his Thanksgiving dinner on the manifold to a panicked first-time cook who didn't realize a turkey needs to be thawed. Lynne handles all questions with wit, expertise and laughter.
