2023. Over the next few weeks we will still be showing up in your feet. Don't

worry. We have some surprises and some wonderful

listener selected Best of Episodes. But today we wanted to celebrate the good news that has

happened in 2023. This is a regular practice I use on the news brief.

We have a good news brief every Thursday.

And so we wanted to use that muscle here at Pansu Politics

and recognize, illuminate, elevate,

positive things we see in our culture, in our country,

and in the world.

by sharing our words for next year. and we hope that hearing what we're thinking

about going into 2024 will inspire some of your practice if you choose a word

for the next year as a guidepost.
