Episode 14: Thanksgiving!

DateWednesday, November 21, 2018 at 01:50PM

In this Thanksgiving special, we talk about Thanksgiving! How did it start, and how did it become the holiday as we know it today? Plus, did Virginia have the REAL first Thanksgiving, not the Pilgrims, like we've always thought?
