Episode description

The holidays are upon us.  In this special quasi-Thanksgiving-themed episode we (eventually) discuss things we're thankful for in the geek realm.  We discuss some of our favorite movies & TV shows that made an impression on us this year, potential upcoming projects we're thankful are in development, and even some YouTube pages and other podcasts that we're thankful for.

 - Which movies did the co-hosts pick as their favorites of 2021 so far (not that there are many to choose from)?

 - Well, actually, really really lastly, how will Joanna and one of her robo-voice colleagues be spending the Thanksgiving holiday -- and, is that too personal a question to be asking?

Find out the answers to these and other turkey-gobbling questions as we feast on a harvest of geeky topics in our special, "What Are We Thankful For? - Geek Edition (2021)."

Update:  Today, Thanksgiving Day 2022 (November 24), just happens to be the one-year anniversary of this Thanksgiving-themed episode.  That's a nice coincidence.  We hope everyone has had a happy, safe, and healthy Thanksgiving.  This episode has been re-uploaded with slightly improved audio quality.
