We started the "First Opinion Podcast" in February 2021 because we knew there was incredible value in the perspectives shared by our essay contributors.  We'd hoped there could be added value in sharing those perspectives through real, in-depth conversations too. Now a little under one year and 43 conversations later, we've been thrilled by the results. To celebrate our last podcast of the year I sat down with producer Theresa Gaffney to look back at some of the year's most memorable moments, both on- and off-the-record.
