We're trying something a little different - more "live" episodes, like we did around the Election. The episode is lightly edited, in line with our "live" episodes.

This episode was recorded on January 5th before we knew the final results of the Georgia Senate races. We recorded again on January 6th in the immediate aftermath of the Capitol insurrection.

Noel's been working on this episode for weeks and we had so much material we decided to split it into the two parts. Jadi and I mostly ceded the podcast to Noel for this two-part episode, fittingly, since it's the Noel season.

Part I starts with one of Noel's letters - this one is addressed to her dad and features a very special Christmas memory. And then, a conversation between Noel and Megan Romer, one of our early guests on the show.
