Hey folks, Finn here. A few housekeeping items before we get started. First, this is the last episode

and it wouldn't be possible without any of you. So thank you so much.

Anticlimactic countdown. I'm here with friends, colleagues, Will Peterson, Jack Kensel.

This is our first ever FKT year and review episode. It's the end of

2024. You kind of start to think about the year that was key moments, key themes, etc.
