There's a lot of news happening.

You want to understand it better, but let's be honest, you don't want it to be your entire

life either.

Well, that's sort of like our show, here and now anytime.

Every weekday on our podcast, we talk to people all over the country about everything

from political analysis to climate resilience, video games.

We even talk about dumpster diving on this show.

Check out Here and now anytime, a daily

podcast from NPR and WBUR. Hey, it's Rachel. Just a heads up. There's a little bit of spicy

language in this episode. Hey there, it's Rachel. Over the past year, we've heard from a whole lot

of you about how much you like the memory time machine part of our show. When we started

out, we called it the prize that guests would get after finishing the wildcard game. But

we didn't want people to think they were getting like a Norwegian cruise or a new washer dryer

set. So we stopped saying prize. And even though I don't say this out loud in the show, now I have come to think of it as like a gift.

The guest gets the experience of walking through a meaningful memory and you and me, we get to connect with the story in our own way.

Just like on my kids' little league team, we are all winners.

So we decided to wrap up some of these

gifts in one big bow for your listening pleasure. And with that, I present to you some of our very

favorite trips in the memory time machine. Our first trip is with a guest who holds a special

place in my heart because she was our very first guest on Wildcard, Jenny Slate.

So the prize is a trip in our memory time machine.

Cool.
