Hello, all you brilliant neurosurgeons and lonely chefs! In our last (!) episode of 2020, we'll recap our latest book club discussion and offer up our top tens of the year. Plus, we'll talk body positivity, social justice, and Christmas dinner. We'll be back in January! Thank you, listeners, for making 2020 way more fun than it had any right to be.
