Hi. This is Ben Brown. Two things real quick. Number one, thank you for making 2017 a hugely encouraging year for this podcast. We saw a big bump in activity and interaction and support. We talked to so many smart and authoritative people over the past year and got to learn so much about the changing context of cities and towns. Whether you've been a guest or a listener, thank you. 2017 was awesome. And then, two, we'll be riding that encouragement into 2018 with new episodes. We've got plenty of topics in the bank already. From what the sharing economy means for cities, to a strange lens hovering over a massive group of young people. If I can add a third thing here, we definitely want to include you more in this show. Keep giving us feedback about past episodes. Tell us your thoughts so I can read them on the show. Or record them yourself so so I can play them on the show. Pitch as topics for future episodes. Tell us what you wanna see that's different from what we do now. Anything that fits with the theme of cities and towns in the face of change. From technology to art to law enforcement to transportation to planning to architecture to people and on and on. That's bbrown@nclm.org or at muniequation on Twitter. That's at muniequation. Also gotta give huge thanks to groups like ELGL and the National League of Cities for being so supportive and cool and helpful and amazing. We're gonna hear more from each of them in the new year. But what we're gonna do right now is rest and reset over the holidays and come back with new stuff in early twenty eighteen. The North Carolina League of Municipality started this show to have national focus. So any idea, no matter where it's from, is of interest to us and to our listeners. All past episodes at soundcloud.com/municipalequation. ITunes, Google play, Stitcher, Chorus, wherever you get your podcasts. We'll talk to you soon. This has been Brown.
