You're listening to How to Be a Better Human.

I'm your host, Chris Duffy.

We are coming to the end of the year, and it has been a really big season for our podcast.

So before we graduate, before we move on to our next season, we want to take a little look back.

And we're going to do that in today's episode, High School Yearbook Style.

So people from across our podcast team are going to pick an episode and give it a superlative.

You remember those, right?

Things like most likely to succeed or biggest class clown.

If I was going to get a superlative for this episode, it would probably be most likely to have a seasonal head cold and sound like his nose is stuffed up because it is.

OK, so this episode, this is that.

This is the superlative episode.

And these superlatives are going to be bestowed by folks who work on this show, who produce it, who fact check it and keep it going.

We've even got a previous podcast guest, poet Naisha Randhar, who's going to share her own superlative pick.

I'm going to get out of the way.

So you're going to hear the voices of members of our team.

And then after they tell you which episode they picked for a superlative, you'll hear an excerpt from that episode.

I want to also note that some superlatives were so popular that multiple people wanted to share their episode pick for that same superlative.
