A Traditional Radio Thanksgiving

I am long-time fan of public radio. I started lsitening in the mid-1970's - when Bob Edwards and Susan Stamburg were hosts of "All Thinsg Considered" (Before he went over to Morning Edition).

Over the years NPR Thanksgiving Traditions became my traditions.

These days one endures - Mama Stamburg's Cranbarry Relish recipe first hit the air in 1971. Though Susan Stamburg has long moved on from "All Things Considered" (She is now a "Senior Correspondent") each year the relish recipe makes its return. It may be found at:


The other NPR tradition is not promoted these days because it is one from Bob Edwards' days at "Morning Edition" - and we are no longer in the Edwards-era at NPR (He is now at XM and PRI - there is a long story there, but we're not going there now). In any event, each year on Morning Edition (starting in 1994), Bob Edwards would host an annual radio Fantasy Thanksgiving potluck with such chefs as Julia Child, Wolfgang Puck, and Paul Prudhomme. Listen as Morning Edition updates the holiday event with chefs Rick Bayless, Mario Batali, Deborah Madison, Jacques Torres, and Mollie Katzen in attendance.
