Lemonada. This is Elise Knapp. You're listening to Pansu Politics. Sarah, Beth, and our whole team are out today celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday.

We hope that wherever you are, whomever you're with, you are finding some peace and hope and joy as we enter this next part of the holiday season.

Here at Pansy Politics, we wanted to approach our gratitude a little differently this year.

We reached out to a bunch of people in our community and asked them to do that

with us. What you'll hear today are members of our team, listeners like you, some friends of the show,

and many of the guests we had on throughout this year, sharing the smallest things they are

thankful for. We told them no cheating and saying things like family and democracy. We all know

we're very thankful for those things. What we wanted were the tiniest, most insignificant little

things that they could think of. What we got is a beautiful mix of poignant, funny, heartfelt, and

honest answers. You are going to love this. One note. As we have integrated

video into the podcast this year, somewhat begrudgingly, we have done our best to keep the listening

experience the same for those of you who, like me, prefer the audio experience. That is our first

and foremost format. However, if you've wondered about

checking us out on video and have not done it yet, today's episode is a wonderful one to do it

because it's really fun to see everyone's faces and spaces as they share what they are grateful

for. Plus, Studio D, our wonderful editing team, was kind enough to work with

me to put everyone's names and their relation to the show on the video as well, just in case

you don't recognize them by voices alone. If you're interested in watching the video version of

the show, you can always find us on YouTube, or you can find the video on our website, PantsuitPolitics

Show.com. That's the same place. You'll always find show notes, any links we have to share,

all the other work that we make beyond the main podcast we're listening to.

Thank you so much for being here today. We are grateful for you,
