This is Alana Casanova Burgess, O.T.M. Producer. And this is Jesse Brennam, also an OTP producer.

And this is Mira Sharma, another OTM producer. You know, it has been, aside from the election, a pretty nutsier.

It's been insane. It's been crazy. It's been crazy. We've done a lot of stuff that is, I look back on it and I don't even remember how we did it. That's kind of a strange thing to say.

Say it again. I've been blacked out most of them.

No, when I look back on the things that we've talked about on the show this year, I can't believe it was all in one year. I mean, Mira, you did that whole series on poverty that was,

I think, one of the best things I've heard on radio in so long. Thank you, Jesse. And yeah, and you did that segment with Brooke and that gun advocate,

and it was one of the segments where you're hearing from somebody you just don't usually hear

from on public radio. And they had an amazing amount of tension, but it was also a really

productive conversation. That was great. Yeah, and Alana, you went to Brazil with Bob, which,

A, first of all, you got Bob to Brazil and back. Not even arrested once.

Not even arrested one time, and we had budgeted for twice.

Not only that, but you got this insight into what was going on there in the media landscape

and also for the people on the ground and dealing with the Olympics and dealing with the changes

in government.

I mean, it was such an action-packed hour.

It was crazy.

I'm so glad you got the chance to do that.

We've done so much cool stuff this year, and I really hope that we keep getting to make segments

like this next year. And the year after that, and the year after that.

And to do that, we need you, the listeners. We need you so, so much.

It's really easy to donate.

Right before the tax exemption deadline.
