115. Thanksgiving-ish Books and Films

For this week’s mini, we share the origin story of our writing partnership and chat about some books, TV shows, and films set in Colonial America. As ever, we’re thankful for you, our listeners! In mentioning Thanksgiving, we think it’s especially important to acknowledge that Los Angeles, where we live and record this podcast, is on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Gabrielino-Tongva, Chumash, and Kizh peoples.
