One of the many things I love about public radio station KCRW is the wonderful holiday related programming that it airs each year. Whether you’re looking for interesting recipes that can add new tastes to your table, ideas to enliven your celebration and/or deepen your understanding and practice of a tradition, or ways in which other people and communities celebrate a particular holiday, you can always count on KCRW to inform and educate in an engaging manner.
This Thanksgiving, the station continues its holiday programming tradition when KCRW host Evan Kleiman “offers a feast of features on Thanksgiving Day….” No matter where you happen to be on Thursday, you can tune in or listen to the live stream online. Details follow:
