On the podcast “Movement,” Meklit Hadero interviews musicians with roots around the world about how their histories and personal lives get translated into song. For this special Thanksgiving Day broadcast of The World, we share stories from “Movement” related to family and “found family.” The World’s Marco Werman and “Movement” host Meklit Hadero set up the show with a conversation about the role music plays in family gatherings and storytelling about our lives.
