Well, that was This is That for this year.

As season three comes to an end, we look back at all the groundbreaking stories we've broadcast this season.

We sympathized with the community of Napanee's difficult decision of who to immortalize in bronze - Avril Lavigne or Sir John A. MacDonald. We satisfied our sweet tooths by learning about a town in Texas and their initiative to add sugar to their water supply to increase consumption. And we all shed a tear when learning about a University of Nanimo student who exposed us to her world as someone who suffers from visual allergies. Needless to say it has been a year of unbelievable events.
We could not be more thankful for having the greatest job in the world (other than Gene Sloan) and it has been our pleasure crafting this show for you week after week. We hope you've had as much fun listening as we did recording it. And your feedback - from Facebook, Email, Twitter or 1-877-JOE-CHIC - has been marvelous, inspiring and at times, funnier than we could ever be. Thank you for reaching out.

That being said, our three man operation did have some help and we want to thank those people for their contributions. From writing to improvising, and even creating music for the show, we tip our toques to the following: Charles Demers, Steve Bays, Caitlin Howden, Emmett Hall, Amy Matysio, Chris Redman, The Sunday Service, @stats_canada, Derek Flores, Scott Vrooman, Graham Clark, Devin McKenzie, Ren Bostellar, Jill Barber, Kathleen Phillips, Lauren Bercovitch, Sara Erikson, Lizzy Karp and Steve Pratt.

Although we're off the airwaves for now, make sure to visit This is That Headlines or Episode section for any stories that you may have missed, or want to share. And don't forget to tell your family, friends and co-workers about the This is That podcast, because unlike "conventional news", our show doesn't expire!

Happy New Year and we will see you in 2013.

Pete, Pat and Chris
