Hello, Zyte Gang, and welcome to the end of the year. During these two weeks surrounding Christmas and the new year, we take some time off. During the mornings, we'll run some new holiday and end-of-the-year content that you can listen to while we're taking a break. This year, we've got our review of the year of movies, predictions for the coming year, Santa University.

We look back at some holiday classics with Chris Croft and so much good stuff dropping in the mornings.

In addition to all that stuff in the afternoons, where we would usually drop the trends episode,

we are rerunning the 10 most popular episodes of this year, according to you.

You voted with your dang ears, and we listened with ours.

Actually, we looked at the data.

We're spying on you.

Honestly, I'm mostly in this podcasting thing.

For the rich marketing data, it provides to me about each and every one of you.

At the end of the year, when I look back to see what made the top 10, and this was actually

my favorite year to look back at, our top 10 is full of episodes. I feel like made it because

of a bunch of different reasons. There are some episodes

that dropped after huge news events. There are some first episodes that dropped right after some

hilarious news events, some great new guests, some classic fan favorite guests, and some

new formats we tried out that we're very excited to see that you guys

enjoyed before we get into it i just want to thank you guys for once again being such a

cool community that's bloomed up around this podcast we've been doing all these years uh you guys

repeatedly make us proud you're there for us when we go through some really difficult shit. You show up at

shows of our guests and we always get great reports from our guests about our listeners.

You are the rare podcast audience that makes us extremely proud to have you as listeners so far.

So don't, don't fuck this up, you guys.

All right.
