The 'leftovers' season has begun, and so has the holiday shopping season. Join Barry for his salute to turkey sandwiches, weight gain and National Flossing Day!

Barry gathers his podcast family together for a Thanksgiving Day celebration filled with humor, history and gratitude.

Barry's getting ready for Thanksgiving and shares audio from a 2016 interview with Jay Leno, and chats with community members about what food item from the Thanksgiving feast they would choose if they could only eat one thing from the table.

Barry also offers fun suggestions for creating an 'attitude of gratitude' amongst the gathering of family and friends.

Barry's special guest is the new Police Chief of Winchester City, Amanda R. Behan. The conversation covers what influenced Chief Behan to pursue a career in law enforcement, how she balances family and police work, and what she wants the city to understand about Winchester's law enforcement family.

Barry poses the question to the chief if she could only eat one food item from the Thanksgiving Day table on Thursday, what would it be?

Barry's guest on today's episode is the President and Founder of 'Dakota's Dream Animal Rescue', Alicia Aston. Alicia shares the mission and story of this amazing all volunteer organization. Today is also National Stuffing Day (or is it 'dressing'?).

Joining Barry on the podcast today is Ashley Ferguson with Frederick County Parks and Rec. "Walking In A Winter Wonderland" at Clearbrook Park is one week away! Come enjoy the thousands of lights and on opening night, 11/25, support the Chain of Checks.

It's National Homemade Bread Day and National Butter Day ... what a combo! Barry shares the story from one of his listeners about her tradition of delivering homemade bread on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and why she did it. It's also Chain of Checks time and collection canisters are in businesses all over the community.

It's National Fast Food Day and Barry dives into our French fry frenzy including why we poke around in the bag for fries when leaving the drive-thru.

It's also 'Education Support Professionals Day' and Barry looks back on the day in first grade that he ran away from his bus driver ... (spoiler: not a happy ending).
