Description

Holy crap, man. We made it five years. And we're still going!
Usually our year-end Best Ofs feature stories that were voted on by our audience. But for this episode, we did something a little differently. Here, the six people most responsible for bringing you this show every month -- the band (Eric, Dwight, Claire, Jim, and Becca) plus Nerdologues founder Kevin Reader -- share their favorite pieces from across the history of this podcast! We're gonna go back in time to an iO classroom used as a last-minute replacement, we're gonna go to the Adler Planetarium, and we're gonna sing some Wilson Phillips. It's been a heck of a five years. Here's to five more.
This episode, enjoy:
