Welcome to this episode of the award winning Best of the Left podcast.

Today I've got something special for you.

It's the season where we look back, you know, we're at the beginning of a new year.

What a lot of people do is they look back and do a review of the year that has just gone

by.

Of course, we're also at the beginning of a new decade, depending on how you count.

Some sticklers would say that's not until next year.

But anyway, we're at another big round number.

So a lot of people are doing a decade review.

We on the show though, sort of do a decade review every year.

It's become a tradition over the past few years to look back not at the last year,

but 10 years ago.

And so this year we're going to be looking back at the year 2010.

But as it turns out, looking back 10 years is not the only tradition that I've started.

I've got another tradition that I didn't even realize I was starting.

Let me play this for you.

This is from not the regular show, but the bonus show for members that went out with last year's

retrospective.

This is how I introduced the bonus retrospective episode last year.

It's good to be back to new year.

Same show.

I'll have to a bit of a rocky start, to be honest.
