You're listening to Radiotopia Presents from PRX's Radiotopia.

Hello, happy new year, and welcome back to our final pick of the best of Radiotopia 2024.

Network Operations Director Yuri Lassorto and I have gone through the entire Radiotopia catalog to pick

our favorite episodes of the year. And honestly, it's been really fun. A big part of our job is

listening, and there are many days when one of us comes into the office or starts off a Zoom call

with, have you heard this episode yet? So it's been really fun to share all of that with you. It's truly the best part of the job.

Next up and last up, alphabetically, we have Wait for it from Ronald Young Jr.

The show has won every award possible at this point, so if you haven't listened yet, I don't really know what you're doing. But 2024 marked the second season of the show, and episodes just keep getting better and better.

Our favorite of the year is called Into Thin Air. And in it, host Ronald Young Jr. examines the state of

flying as a fat person with special guest Aubrey Gordon, author,

activist, and host of the podcast maintenance phase.

If you just traveled for the holidays, this may have been on your mind.

And if not, I think you're going to learn a lot.

So here's Into Thin Air from Wait for It.

Enjoy.

Wait for It is a show about the way we feel about our bodies.

Consequently, each episode may include references to gaining and losing weight, eating disorders,

weight loss surgery, and weight stigma.

If these topics are triggering to you, please take care while listening.

We have links to support resources for anyone who may need them in our show notes.

Wait for it.

I mean, the hope is that no one sits next to you, like regardless of your size.
