Holidays

A five-year-old girl holds a gun at a Thanksgiving turkey shoot; a seven-year-old boy drinks beers at a family gathering; and a stand-up comic works a challenging New Year's Eve gig in...Alaska. This week's show features original true stories about Holidays from Angela Derecas Taylor, John Pielmeier, Jennifer Rawlings, and Paul Hostovsky. • To receive the series directly to your phone or smart speaker, subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: Spotify, Amazon, Audible, iHeartRadio, Stitcher, Apple Podcasts or Google Podcasts.
