MPR News digital editor Nancy Yang joined host Cathy Wurzer to get her up to speed on the top trending stories this week on MPRnews.org and beyond.

First up: Planning on flying for Thanksgiving? Expect to cruise about as smoothly as a turkey on the wing — which is to say, not smoothly at all.

Next: Can you tell me how to get … how to get to better representation on “Sesame Street”? The venerable children’s TV show has debuted its first Asian American muppet.

And finally: Even Nancy and Cathy, both surprise-proposal skeptics, gave a begrudging thumbs-up to this surprise proposal at an Adele concert.
