Welcome to the Retroist Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Podcast. This week’s podcast is a little early and is all about the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade I talk about the history of the parades, its broadcast and of course the various balloons that we see every year. We have a nice treat this week. We have audio from the Retroist Broadcasting Archive on their disastrous attempt at broadcasting at the parade.

Happy Thanksgiving to the Retroist staff and all the Retroist fans, may your day be full of great food, family, friends,and a little time to reflect on how lucky we are to be Americans.
Great podcast, brought back many of my own memories and I think Christopher’s artwork is just terrific.
You should do another one of these and talk about some of the more notable floats. Didn’t they do a He-Man one?
Its been a few month, but I think when I recorded this I did a much more comprehensive listing of floats, but without the visual it felts very flat, so I cut it out. Maybe I can figure something out that will work better for the upcoming Turkey day.
