I'm Christine Cyr Clissette. I'm Kyra Blackwell. I'm Rosie Garan, and you're listening to The Wirecutter Show.

Hey guys, it's Rosie.

Today we're re-airing a favorite recent episode of ours.

It's a roundup of our colleagues at Wirecutter talking about items they tried, tested, reported on, and loved this year.
