We've filled the gravy boat full of poultry puns here at APN this week, readying ourselves for a feast with family. Though our gatherings may be fewer than usual, we're grateful to reflect and give thanks to all those who hear our voices over the airwaves — and to those who soldier on in podcasting, sharing stories, conversations, and observations.
With that, we offer up this cornucopia of new episodes for your long weekend digestion. Put on your stretchy pants and settle in for the full buffet!

In the off-week before Formula 1 goes to Turkey (seriously, the timing with Thanksgiving could not be better), Get Checkered discusses F1 news and Motor Generator Units (MGUs). Loyal Company of the River Valley looks at the past two FC Edmonton games against Cavalry and Valour, and ahead to the massive World Cup Qualifiers coming to Edmonton in November.
