Your Stories Best Ofs are some of my favorite annual traditions. It's always so fun and honestly a little validating to go back through the archives and assemble some favorite pieces from the past year of podcasts. There was a lot of incredible stuff to choose from this year, spanning like a few hundred stories, a dozen venues, and even a tour! If you're looking for an hour of power(ful pieces), this is it. This episode includes:

• Cover Stories with Sasha Rohret: Big Black Horse and a Cherry Tree
• Benjamin Rathert with Eric Garneau: If It Takes a Lifetime
• Ashley Keenan: Invisible
• Logan Dean: Fat Orson Welles and the Curse of Solomon's Cone
• Chels Harvey: The Roach Dance
• Andrew Friedman: Anime Convention
• Alex Talavera: Mixed Heritage
• Cover Stories Annual: Beelzeboss

Don't miss our Annual 6 year-end celebration at the Beat Kitchen this Sunday! You can buy tickets now. It's gonna be so sweet!
