Listener supported WNYC Studios.

Brian Lair on WNYC, and we're going to finish up today with an end of year call in for a few tributes to anyone you know in your personal life who passed away in 2024.

On Tuesday, if you were listening, we took calls about the public figures you admired who passed away this year.

And we got calls on musicians and activists and all kinds of people.

And my producers told me a few people called in who wanted to talk about personal losses

and didn't realize the distinction we were making.

So now is the time for that.

We decided to follow up on Tuesday segment and give a few of you

some space for that. 212-433 W-NYC, 212-433-9-6-9-2. If anybody wants to call in and pay tribute to

anyone in your personal life who passed away in

2024. I know this might be emotional for you, so it's only for people who want to, obviously.

But we, you know, took the lesson from Tuesday show that there are some of you out there

who believe you'd find value in saying

the name of a lost loved one on the air, maybe doing, you know, a half a minute, these are going to

have to be short of tribute to that person. And we want to give you the opportunity that some

people were hoping to have when they tried to call in on Tuesday.

So 212-433 W-NYC, 212-433-9692.

We know that this time of year can be joyous and warm with good spirits and chances to see friends and family,

but also the sorrow of having lost someone who you may have lost this year. First year is always

hard, right? 212-433, WNYC, 433, 9692.

And I see people are calling in to do this, so we're just going to go to the break, and we'll come back and we'll take your calls with some brief tributes to people you know personally who you lost in 2024.

Stay with us.
