15:38 Most Popular Episode of 2017: Who would have predicted this, as sunshiny as we are? "Accentuate the Negative" from March 3, 2017, was our most downloaded episode of 2017. Let's listen to that title segment again now, shall we? Chances are your kids are taking offense to something even as we speak.

27:41 Most Popular Speed Round of 2017: "Do You Plan Your Travel or Wing It?" (featuring a tale of advance planning gone wrong), from February 21, was our listeners' favorite. It blows through this week's episode like, you might say, a hurricane.
