The “Useful Thanks Purveyor” Bonus Segment
The Culture Gabfest hosts welcome culture editor Dan Kois to discuss the archetypal family roles at Thanksgiving dinners.
The Culture Gabfest has moved! Find new episodes here.
This week on the Culture Gabfest’s Slate Plus bonus segment, hosts Julia Turner and Stephen Metcalf welcome Dan Kois, Slate’s culture editor and co-host of Mom and Dad Are Fighting. The Gabfest crew considers the familial roles they played in their childhood years. Have their views of Thanksgiving changed over time? Are they still considered the “bad cousins” of the family? Or do they desperately wish to bring distant relatives together and keep traditions alive?
