There was no other way to end the year than having our old pal Eddie Kaufholz back on the show. We talk about 2018 like it can't hear us- the things we loved and hated, the ways it surprised us, Eddie's big changes this year (and he parents his daughters a few times), and we dive deep into plans for 2019.
This is a thinker and an LOLer. Of course it is.
Thanks for an amazingly fun year, you guys. I wouldn't do this without you. Over 5 million downloads and 70+ shows in 2018, and still the best part is when you come up to me at a restaurant or airport and tell me your favorite episode. So THANK YOU SO MUCH. Y'all are better friends than I deserve.
Here's to 2019- a year full of great shows (we already mostly know the first three months and it's LEGIT) and lots of new friends and having more fun than we did in any year before. That's my goal for us, at least. :)
. . . . .
Quick reminders:
1. No new show on New Years Eve but we'll be back on January 3!
2. We are reading 100 Days to Brave together starting January 1! Join us!! All the details on my instagram.

0:00.0 | Hi friends, welcome to that sounds fun. It is the last episode of the year, the last |
0:13.7 | episode of our Christmas party as well. My name is Annie F. Downs. I am your hostess. I'm |
0:19.0 | so glad to be with you guys here today. What a year we have had. I am just so grateful |
0:24.5 | for y'all. You just can't even know. I was just pulling up some stats and in 2018, we |
0:29.6 | started the year doing one show a week on Thursdays, switched in May and started doing two shows |
0:34.5 | a week. So by the end of this year, we've done about 70 episodes with about 5 million downloads, |
0:40.9 | which is just unbelievable. Over 5 million downloads, two shows a week and 70 this year, that |
0:46.5 | is just crazy. I'm so thankful for y'all. I just could have never dreamed that this would |
0:51.2 | be what it is. I can't even begin to list my favorite shows from 2018. You can probably guess |
0:57.4 | some of them and you know what your favorites were too, but I've said for a really long time that I |
1:02.4 | liked them all. I love some and I really love some others and some felt sacred this year and I'll |
1:08.0 | just never, never stop saying thanks to our guests who've been on and the guests who have taken |
1:13.8 | time this year to be on the show and to you guys for always listening. It's so sweet. And to our |
1:19.3 | friends like Dave Barnes for letting us use his music, we've had people all year long who've allowed |
1:23.2 | us to use their songs. They don't ask me to pay them anything. They just say, yeah, of course, |
1:26.8 | we're friends, use our music and it's really, really generous. So thanks again today. Make sure you |
1:31.8 | grab some of his music to kick off your new year as well. Well, we're in in the year as we as we |
1:37.4 | need to, as we have to, as we should with our good buddy Eddie Coughle. Do you know Eddie Coughle? |
1:42.6 | He's been on the show a lot. I love him being on the show and he is the host of the new activist, |
1:47.7 | one of my very favorite podcasts. And so I like to bring him on the last show of the year, do a |
1:51.4 | little bit of a year in review, figure out what was great about 2018, what he hated about 2018, |
1:57.5 | and what is to come in 2019. So we are so thankful that he is here. So here is my conversation, |
