This episode is brought to you by the Mazda CX-50. Move and Be Moved. Hey there, Kelly McEvers here,

co-host of the Atlas Obscura podcast. For the past couple of weeks, we have been counting down to

the holidays with 12 days of wonder. And this is it, our last day. We've been in Arizona, Russia, in the Southern Ocean, and a bunch of places in between.

If you missed any of the episodes, go back and listen. So look, inevitably, there comes a point during the holidays when you are done with family time. And you just need a break.

So to close out our 12 days of wonder, we are taking

you to a room where you can find some peace and quiet. A lot of peace and quiet. Okay, thanks for

joining us in our countdown these past couple of weeks. Happy holidays, and I hope you enjoy the episode.

After this. So I'm here at Orfield Labs.

It is in...
