Maddie Safaya here with Emily Kwong, our resident reporter and sometimes host of Shortwave. Happy Thanksgiving, Emily. Happy Thanksgiving, Maddie. So we're off today for the holiday, but we didn't want to miss a chance to say that we are extremely thankful that you've been listening to the show for these past months. And on the flip side of that equation, if you are thankful for this show, we need your help. We work for NPR, which relies on the support of listeners like you to keep it going. That means the microphones we use, the computers, the editing software, the building where we work, The servers that host this podcast so you can download it, none of that can exist without listener support.

So this year, just around the holidays, we're asking you to give even a small amount to help keep this podcast coming to you each and every weekday. It's really easy to do. Just go to donate.npr.org slash short to find your local public radio station and give. By doing that, you support us. And don't you want to do that? Okay, once again, donate.npr.org slash short. We would be really thankful for any amount you can give. We're back tomorrow with a new episode on the science of smell and memory.

Because, of course, holiday smells are a big thing. Emily, what's your favorite Thanksgiving Day smell? Board games. Wow. Wow. Okay. Once again, donate.npr slash short. We're back tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving, and thanks for listening to Shortwave from NPR. Board games? The smell of board games? Yeah, you know, when you open up, like, Monopoly. Yeah. Same.
