Dear Listener: A Celebration of Our Best Moments with You

Dear Listener: A Celebration of Our Best Moments with You

Host Kai Wright celebrates the many years and iterations of Notes from America by revisiting some of the show’s most engaging listener moments.

He’s joined by producer Regina de Heer to open up the listener mailbag of responses to recent episodes and highlights from live events and focus groups. Then, we listen back to a conversation with Lindsay Kimball, program director for Minnesota Public Radio’s renowned music station The Current, accompanied by a holiday music playlist curated with the help of listeners (who also graced us with some impromptu live performances).

Dear Listener, thank you for always spending time with us and adding your voice to our show.

Check out our original holiday playlist here!
