Debts of Gratitude (Thanksgiving Program)
Series: CBC Award Winning Radio Programs
From: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Length: 00:46:41
'Debts of Gratitude' is a variety of light hearted conversations and a retelling of experiences about the way we say "Thank You" and why sometimes we don't say it at all.
Lost opportunities to say thank you. How does an anonymous organ donor ever say thank you to the person who gave them a second chance at life? When Canadian actor Sandra Oh (Grey's Anatomy) made her thank-you speech at the Golden Globes, who did she struggle to remember? Also, hear about the etiquette of "thank you" in North America, and how it contrasts with the customs of some folks from Somalia, Iran and Burma.
Hosted by the CBC's Alan Neal, 'Debts of Gratitude' is a Thanksgiving Program that won silver at the 2010 New York Festivals Radio Program and Promotion Awards.
