Hello, dear Scorekeepers! Welcome back to THE SCORE and we hope you're all having a very happy holiday season! All of us are on vacation, but we didn't want to leave you without anything to listen to in case you're stuck at the airport (looking at you, Southwest) or you need a respite from all the family togetherness. This week, we're taking a look back at some of our favorite conversations from this past year. And they're in shareable bite-sized pieces, so if you're new to the show or you'd like to introduce someone to what we do, here's a handy little primer on what we've been up to this year. So sit a spell and look back at this crazy year with us. (Obviously, there's lots of Beyoncé!) And of course, we'll see you again next year with a fresh batch of all-new shows! Happy New Year, y'all!

Hosts: Lee Bynum, Rocky Jones, Paige Reynolds (Iyawo Inawale)

Producer: Rocky Jones
