Year in Sound

<p>Our first episode of 2019 opened the year with a question: “<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/02/podcasts/the-daily/house-democrats-investigation-cummings-nadler-schiff.html" target="_blank">What will Democrats do with their new power</a>?” One of our last offered the answer: “<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/19/podcasts/the-daily/impeachment-trump-democrats.html" target="_blank">impeach the president</a>.” This audio time capsule captures the weeks in between — a crescendo of controversy and culture wars to wrap up the decade.
