Let's Talk Turkey

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, WTMJ’s Steve Scaffidi serves up a mix of politics and pie — in true Wisconsin fashion. Steve kicks off with reaction to U.S. Senator Mark Kelly and the Department of Justice investigation tied to Pete Hegseth’s criticism over a controversial ad. Steve explains why he believes Kelly’s ad was in poor taste but doesn’t warrant punishment, arguing that common sense — not party loyalty — should guide judgment. Then the show lightens up for the holiday season. After a holiday traditions feature by Debbie Lazaga, Steve opens the phone and text lines to ask listeners: -What’s your must-have Thanksgiving pie? -Will politics come up at your table this year? Callers Joe, Valerie, and Bob weigh in with their Thanksgiving philosophies — from “keep it peaceful” to “pass the pumpkin pie and the opinions.” In the 11 a.m. hour, Steve talks rising turkey prices, the surprising most popular pie in America, and more listener favorites. He closes with a few thoughts on a Dateline special filmed in Wisconsin and what’s coming up on his future shows and podcasts. Smart talk, good food, and a few laughs before the holiday — that’s Thanksgiving with Steve Scaffidi.
