From music to cooking advice, WFIU has you covered for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Join us on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 25, for these holiday specials:

Every Good Thing

Giving Thanks

Giving Thanks sounds the way Thanksgiving feels: inviting, warm, and festive. It’s a contemporary, thoughtful celebration of the spirit of the holiday. Special guests Stanley Tucci and Naomi Shihab Nye join our Thanksgiving table, and music from Eric Whitacre, Bach, Copland, and more complete the scene.

Harmonia – Songs of Thanks and Praise
