The Year in Sound: An Audio Time Capsule of 2018
Between the government shutdowns that bookended the year, there were furious standoffs over a border wall; shootings at a high school, a bar, a grocery store, a synagogue; devastating wildfires in California.

A midterm vote that delivered one of the most diverse — and divided — governments in American history. Here’s what 2018 sounded like.
