You're listening to How to Be a Better Human. I'm your host Chris Duffy. We are coming to the end of the year, and it has been a really big season for our podcast. So before we graduate, before we move on to our next season, we want to take a little look back. And we're going to do that in today's episode, high school yearbook style. So people from across our podcast team are going to pick an episode and

give it a superlative. You remember those, right? Things like Most Like It to Succeed, or Biggest

Class Clown. If I was going to get a superlative for this episode, it would probably be most likely

to have a seasonal head cold and sound like his nose is stuffed up because it is. Okay, so this

episode, this is the superlative episode.

And these superlatives are going to be bestowed by folks who work on this show, who produce it, who fact check it and keep it going. We've even got a previous podcast guest, Poet Naisha Randhar, who's going to share her own superlative pick. I am going to get out of the way, so you're going to hear the voices of members of our team, and then after they tell you which episode they picked for a superlative, you'll hear an excerpt from that episode. I want to also note that some superlatives were so popular that multiple people wanted to share their episode pick for that same superlative. So you will have to listen to the whole episode to find out which superlative wins most popular superlative, which is itself, of course, a superlative. Okay, that is more than enough for me.

Let's get started. to find out which superlative wins most popular superlative, which is itself, of course, a superlative.

Okay, that is more than enough from me.

Let's get started with Lainey Lott, our audience marketing associate.

And Lany has an episode on which she would like to bestow this superlative, most likely to make you rethink your place in the world.

Here's Lainey.

The episode with Lutheran pastor Nadia Bowles-Weber made me rethink my place in the world. Here's Lainey. The episode with Lutheran pastor Nadia Bowles-Weber made me rethink my place in the world by rooting the concept of belief and spirituality back into just believing in other people

and believing in the good and other people. It's not that often that I see spirituality represented in a lighthearted

or like more logical way. So this conversation was refreshing to help me feel more hopeful about what

it can mean to build a spiritual community and be a spiritual person and that it's really just

about treating other people with sincere kindness.

And it's humbling and just brings me a lot of peace to think about my purpose as being

to just be kind to others and help others. And it's really just that simple. And also their

conversation is also very interesting because Nadia has had a

fascinating life and has a lot of cool mini lessons that can help you just have a little more

faith. A lot of people think they don't have faith because they don't think, oh, I don't think

Jesus was really alive after he was dead, right? Therefore, I don't have faith. And I'm like, oh, my God, you definitely have faith in a million ways. And it doesn't have to do with, do you think that this story is medically true, medically factual? Is there resurrection in your life? Do you have stories of feeling like something
