The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 23, 2015

Were you following a news story this year and suddenly lost the thread? Or do you remember a story everyone was talking about...until 3 weeks later, when nobody was?

We wanted to gather up some loose news ends, so we invited listeners to call in and ask, "Hey, what happened with THAT story?"

And live on the air, Brian Lehrer Show digital producer Shumita Basu and WNYC reporter Kate Hinds used their speedy fact-checking skills to bring you the latest update on that story!
