Merry Christmas! As regular listeners know—and as our guests are sometimes surprised to discover—every interview on A Line Around Your Thoughts closes with a Lightning Round.

This is the first of two special holiday episodes that revisit some Lightning Round moments from the past year. The selections in this episode are from ALAYT's first four months.

Featured guests include Troy Nickerson & Chris Jensen, James Lowe, Shelly Wynecoop, Bryan Harnetiaux, Jess Walter, Dominique Betts & Celeste Bidwell Williams, Gwyn Pevonka, Zuill Bailey, Rachel Bade-McMurphy, Jim Mohr and Joe & Sienna Henson.
