My last radio show of the year! Of course I’m going to do a “Best Of” show. Last year I did one as well, but went in order. This year, I just threw my favorites together. I had lots of fun, despite being sick. (I was so sick I hadn’t left bed in 48 hours, save for a trip to the doctor.)

It was also nice to be there at the start of Jon’s 24-Hour Holiday Marathon, though I am bummed I wasn’t able to attempt my live, on-air karaoke version of “Jingle Bell Rock”. There’s always next year, I suppose.
