Description

We have a Thanksgiving episode! (Well...not really. But Katie does talk about Puritan naming conventions, so maybe that counts?) Instead, Michael talks about Emily Balch, a turn of the century peace activist and Nobel Prize winner. Katie discusses Molly Brant, a Haudenosaunee leader before and during the American revolution. We also reflect on the passing of Alex Trebek.
