Summary

It’s the end of the year, and the entire Radiolab team is starting to take stock and come up for air. We're excited about how much ground we've covered - stories about college debaters and figure skaters, meat allergies and salmon-eating trees, deathwatch beetles mating and Kpop stars dating - we're excited for what 2017 holds, and grateful because you have made all these things possible with your support. But before 2016 comes to an end, we wanted to do something a little different. We wanted to swivel our attention back to you, our listeners, reconnect with some old friends to see how they are doing, and thank everyone for what they've shared with us. Support Radiolab by becoming a member today at Radiolab.org/donate.

0:17.2	Hi. I'm Robert Krollwich.
0:19.3	I am not Jan Aboum. Well, you say who you are. Okay. That's the immodest thing to do. I'm Robert Krollwich. I am not Jan Aboum-Rod. Well, you say who you are. Okay, I'll do that. I'll do that. I'm Mnuch Samaroti. I host another podcast at WNYC Studios, Note to Self. You also are on our show, Radio Lab. You know, very frequently. Well, not very frequently, but frequently enough. Frequently enough. Thank you, brilliantly enough. Thank you, sir. So there we are. Yes, and I am here pinch hitting for Jad for a little bit to spread the word that this is an important time for Radio Lab, Robert. Well, it's the end of the year, the giving time. It is the end of the year. What we're about to do, I think, will be kind of wonderful because we who make the show and you who listen to the show
0:57.6	don't often have a chance to get together. So in the next bit of time, what we're going to do
1:02.6	is we're going to pal up. We've invited some of the people who normally listen to come on the
1:08.5	show and people who normally make the show come and listen, and we're mixing
1:12.0	it up a little bit. It's a strange menagerie of humans, and we want to just go to the zoo of us.
1:18.7	So that is coming right up. But if you'd like to hit pause just for a second and make a
1:22.7	contribution right away, like right now, you can enjoy the episode knowing that you've already

Do you want me to take over here? Right here. Okay, yeah, I'll do that. Slip in, and then I'll think of something to say on the other side. Okay, very good. So what Robert is beating around the bush is that Radio Lab relies on the support of listener contributions, listeners like you, yes, who make all the stories that we produce possible. So it's time that we extend a hand to you, our podcast listeners, and invite you to make a financial contribution so that Radio Lab can keep these episodes coming
