You can find all these stories and more in the Apple News app.

And if you're already listening in the news app right now, we've got a narrated article coming up next.

Thanksgiving travel is now behind us, but Christmas is just around the corner.

The New Yorker reports on the ever-evolving airport lounge and whether it's better to be on the outside or in.

If you're listening in the podcast app, follow Apple News Plus Narrated to find that story.

And I'll be back with the news tomorrow.

Hi there, it's Shamita here.

Before we get into today's episode, we have a quick question for you.

What was your favorite piece of art or culture from this year?

On our interview show, Apple News in Conversation, we're putting together an episode about 2025's best TV, film, music, books, and more.

And we want to know the one thing you would recommend to your fellow listeners as a must-read, watch, or listen.

Use your iPhone's voice memo app to record yourself.

Tell us your name, where you're from, and your recommendation.

And please try to keep it to about a minute or less.

You can send it to us at inconversationatapple.com.

Again, that's inconversationatapple.com.

And we might include your voice on the show.

Thanks.

Good morning.

It's Tuesday, November 18th.
