What we're thankful for as content nerds (Content Lab, Ep. 51)

As I sit down to write this, I'm watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC, and Santa will be arriving soon. Even though I'm only a couple of years away from 40, I still get excited.

This year is a little different, though. On the one hand, it's strange to watch in a post-apocalyptic way. There are no crowds and often, parade participants are singing and talking through masks. So clearly, we're all trying to pretend this is all fine and everything is normal.

On the other hand, I am thankful to still be able to enjoy this tradition. Oh, and also, as I said on Twitter...

Pandemic weirdness aside, however, we still are filled with gratitude. So, in this week's episode, John and I gathered 'round our virtual turkey day table to talk about what we're so thankful for this year. 

Also, if you'd like to know what Millard Fillmore, Rasputin, Keanu Reeves, and Genghis Khan all have in common... you'll need to listen to this wild, hilarious, and heartwarming episode. 

Enjoy!

Important show note

As I mentioned a the previous episode, in the coming weeks, we'll be releasing a bunch of episodes John and I recorded over the past few months. For various reasons, we always felt very quickly that they would become obsolete — for example, we would cancel events we were promoting in those episodes, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

After serious consideration, we've opted to release those episodes anyway. So, please understand that there may be some cases where we reference events that ended up not occurring during certain episodes that we opt to publish down the line, as they make sense.

They also may be released out of order, based on their topic. The topics we discussed are still very valuable and evergreen, however, so we hope you'll excuse any momentary confusion. 

Until next week! 👋
