Today is Saturday, November 27.

Many of you are doing your holiday shopping this weekend,

and perhaps you've struggled to find certain items

on store shelves or seem longer delivery times

if you're shopping online.

The most likely cause, the supply chain crisis.

We've talked about the impact on holiday shopping before,

but today we want to help you really understand

what's happening from the cause of it all

to when the log jams could start to ease up.

Supply chain expert Alan Amling

spent nearly three decades with UPS.

He's now a distinguished fellow

at the University of Tennessee's Global Supply Chain Institute

and runs a consulting company

where he helps businesses navigate disruptions.

He's explaining why U.S. ports are so backed up

and how retailers are making changes

to ensure shoppers have options before the holidays.

Welcome, welcome to The Newsworthy Special Edition Saturday.

When we sit down with a different expert or celebrity

every Saturday to talk about something in the news.
