As the holiday season begins, we’re honoring the roots of Thanksgiving while also celebrating the traditions we’ve created along the way. "Friendsgiving" is one of the latter.
Although its history doesn’t go back quite as far as its namesake, Friendsgiving has grown in popularity over the last few decades as people set aside time for their chosen family. These are gatherings with the people who have supported us, challenged us and carried us through.
This episode is a warm reflection on belonging, connection and community with two stops along the way. First, host Kim Shine is joined by Marc Tasman — director of the digital arts and culture program in the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s anthropology department — to dive into the concept of Friendsgiving. Then you’ll drop in on a celebration in Bay View with good vibes … and some really good food.
