The Best Thing That Happened to You in 2017

Holiday lights

We've been thinking about ways to take stock of the year that was. So here's an idea: at your end-of-the-year holiday gatherings, go up to the oldest person in the room and the youngest person in the room and ask them, "What was the best thing that happened to you in 2017?"

The best way to get their response to us is to hand the person your phone and let them leave us a voicemail in our WNYC newsroom inbox: 855-869-9692. Just make sure you ask them to say their name, age, and where they're from before answering the question. We may share your responses on the air.
