What a year! The Where We Live team has been working remotely since March but we haven't stopped bringing you live conversations. Many of our guests have joined us via Zoom. I've broadcasted from my spare bedroom (I really, really miss the Hartford studio) while Tess and Carmen have been producing and screening listener calls from their apartments. But one thing we really have appreciated is taking your calls live on the air during this time.

Do you have a show pitch for 2021?  Email me: lucy@ctpublic.org

Each year, we take this week between Christmas and New Years to reflect on our most memorable conversations. We hope you enjoy them. Like many of you, this holiday will be quieter for us, too, but we look forward to bringing you new episodes in 2021 !

As always, thanks for listening.
