The holiday season is a time to reflect on the last year and think about all the good things. And here it asked me another, we have no shortage of good news because you, dear listeners, send it to us all the time. We have emails from you, social media messages, and even the occasional piece of snail mail. And to help me sift through it all, I have one of our show's producers with me. Hi, Kiara. Hey, O'Fira. So do you have any

listener love notes you would like to share from this year? Do I have any love notes? I have too many, but I'll only tell you a couple. Okay. Here's an email from a listener named Adrian, who says, listening to Ask Me Another at the Cottage and the 14-year-old says, the best part of this is hearing mom get all the answers and dad try to keep up.

I will be putting this on a t-shirt.

I love that. Sad dad. And this one that a listener named Stephanie tweeted is really sweet. If you want to bring happiness to your soul, you must listen to this week's Ask Me Another. I cried so hard while driving. It was quite dangerous actually, so don't do

that, but do listen. That's right. A suggestion, a compliment, and a warning. What more could anyone

want? So true. Do you have any others? I've got one last one and it's a little bit surprising.

Okay. It's from a new fan named Peter and he's here to humble us. He says, Ask Me Another. I'm sorry I thought you

were a discount, wait, wait. I see your value now and I'm a zealous listener. Wow, I can't

believe Peter Sagle wrote that to us. But that's why we do it. Seriously, with each episode

of Ask Me Another, you know what we're doing? We're building laughter, curiosity, and knowledge

thanks to you.
