Wyoming Public Media Thanksgiving Program Schedule

Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thanksgiving 2023 - Wyoming Public Radio

Thursday, November 23, 2023

9am-12pm - Wyoming Sounds THANKSGIVING SPECIAL with host Grady Kirkpatrick featuring roots music, Native American, and Wyoming artists along with the Arlo Guthrie Thanksgiving classic Alice’s Restaurant beginning at 11am.

2pm - The Pulse -Changing Tastes
What we make for dinner, grab as a snack, or have for breakfast changes all the time — and there are some major forces at play: consumer tastes and marketing, but also climate change, global supply chains, nutrition science, health concerns, and social media influencers. On this episode, we’ll look at what we eat and why. You’ll also learn how lima beans are getting a makeover, and why seed oils ended up becoming a lightning rod in nutrition debates. We’ll taste a futuristic green with self-proclaimed superpowers, and we’ll meet one physician who’s trying to convince people to eat more organ meats, and another who says to stay away from anything marketed as health food.
