Summary

Here at How To! headquarters, we give and receive a lot of good advice. This year we saved the planet, unbroke the news, discovered our style, sat in silence, found pleasure, put a small town on the map, learned to laugh, ran for office (without being an a**hole), and talked politics with our parents. On this episode of How To!, the team gathers 'round the mic 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. Subscribe for free on Apple, Spotify or wherever you listen.

Podcast production by Derek John, Rosemary Belson, and Kevin Bendis.

Second Thought is a weekly show about pop culture. The stuff everyone's been binging, arguing about, obsessing over. Here's the thing about heated rivalry. I mean, even the most devoted swifties, I think we can agree, not our best work. We'll be hosting thoughtful conversations with culture's most important figures. Talk about genius.

0:36.1	experience, taking each step that was
0:39.6	provided by the expert on the how-to divorce segment. It was amazing. I was encouraged because
0:47.7	many of my friends said that it not only helped me, of course, but it helped other people.
0:53.1	And I hadn't thought about that beyond myself,
0:56.2	which makes me grateful. So thanks again. Happy New Year. Welcome to how-to. I'm Amanda Ripley.

1:21.4	Hopefully, alongside the smartest people we could find to help, we were able to make life a little bit easier.
1:28.5	In addition to our regular producers, this year we're joined by Slate's senior technical director, Merritt Jacob. He's the
1:33.9	guy who makes our show sound so great. Thanks so much for having me here. Thanks for joining us.
1:39.6	You have this subconscious and conscious effect on people, on every listener, and they don't even
