Summary
Here at How To! headquarters, we give and receive a lot of good advice. This year we learned how to talk politics without wrecking relationships, lose weight and keep it off, confront a crazy neighbor, and even survive a shark attack. As 2020 draws to a close and we look ahead to the New Year, the How To! team comes together to round up our favorite advice of the year. We talk about how we applied that advice to our own lives, share some surprising updates from folks who were on the show, and give a behind-the-scenes look at how the podcast is made each week.
Did we forget to mention your favorite advice of the year? Let us know with a note at howto@slate.com or leave us a voicemail at 646-495-4001.

| 0:27.7 | And we thought we'd do something different this week, |
| 0:29.6 | which is that we got all of our staff who works on the show and makes the show happen together |
| 0:34.3 | because we were going to talk about our favorite episodes and what we learned personally |
| 0:38.9 | from making how-to over the last 12 months in what must be one of the worst possible years on earth. |
| 0:46.1 | So with that in mind, let's start by having everyone who works on the show introduce himself. |
| 0:51.5 | My name is Derek John, the executive producer here in Chicago and |

| 1:05.2 | episode how to get your dog to stop eating your daughter's underwear with Jenny |
| 1:09.3 | Slate in which I admit to not being much of a dog person. |
| 1:13.0 | I actually didn't even think we should do that episode because that sounded ridiculous to me, |
| 1:17.0 | but it ended up being one of my favorite ones of the year. |
