The Splendid Table

Turkey Confidential will be back this year as a pre-produced program, and we need your help!

Please encourage listeners to send in their Thanksgiving cooking questions by November 3 as voice memos to contact@splendidtable.org, or via phone at 800-537-5252. A :30 promo is located on the Turkey Confidential ContentDepot page for stations to use in making this request of listeners.

NEW episode – November 6: Being together when we are apart

• We talk to Priya Parker, author of The Art of the Gathering, about the things we should be focusing on when planning get-togethers, whether that’s virtual or not.
• Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchen fame brings us ideas for food gifts to swap and share in our social-distanced world
• Sam Sanders, host of It’s Been a Minute, gives us the real talk about the work we all need to do to have meaningful conversations during these final months of 2020
