It's that time of year when we all have one foot in the past and one foot stepping into the future, a time to glance in the rearview but with eyes fixed on the horizon.  This episode reflects on some global challenges that captured the world's attention over the past 12 months. At this time of year, it's always fascinating to compare notes on how we interpret and respond to events that we can't control the outcome. We reflect on events that have made the year memorable or one you might want to shred along with last year's calendar. We also honour a list of heroes lost over the past year. Join us in remembering the year that was and celebrating the year's beginning.
