You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.

Hi, listeners. To give all of you a taste of the exclusive content that I provide to patrons on Patreon,

I thought I'd release an old Blind Spot minisode I did more than a year ago. I'm also doing

a giveaway on December 1st, when I'll put the names of all active patrons into a bowl and have my daughter Gemma fish out a name.

That patron will win a brand new set of studio earbuds.

These are their bleeding edge model, the et, with active noise cancellation and a state-of-the-art

quick-charge case with magnetic cradles that holds four extra charges.

I'll be making a video of Jimma picking the winner and posting it to Patreon, so go sign up

at patreon.com slash historical blindness.

These earbuds were provided courtesy of Studio to promote their

Black Friday sale going on now. If you visit Studio.com during November 23 to the 30th, they're

offering 25% off all products sitewide. I believe I said 35% in my last episode, but I misread that. It's 25%

but listeners of historical blindness get an additional 10% off using the promo code historical

for a total of 35% off your purchase. If you can't pledge on Patreon or don't like your 1 in 100 chance of winning my drawing,

go and do some holiday shopping at studio.com right now and use the promo code historical at checkout.

Music checkout. Hi patrons. Thanks so much for sticking with me through this hiatus.

For new patrons, I want to wait until my first show after the hiatus to thank you,

but I'll thank you here too. Thanks, Jamie, Dominic, and Wasabies. As November winds down,

I know many of you, if you're American, are thinking about family and feasting as the

Thanksgiving holiday approaches. The podcast has always been dark during this time

of year, but now that I'm producing these blind sides for the show's supporters, it's the perfect

opportunity to look at some of the myths and misconceptions surrounding the origins of this holiday,
