A Tiny Sliver of What We Got Wrong About 2024

CIB #222

2024 has come to its natural end and CIB is here to talk about everything we got wrong about it. Or at least the things we remember being wrong about and are willing to acknowledge. It was a fun year, podcasting-wise—thanks for listening along! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it by joining the conversation on our Substack or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
