It's that time of year again! Our annual year-end tradition of checking in on Dreamers Investment Guildprevious stories to hear what happened after the microphones stopped running.

We'll hear from a CEO who was trying to get her company out of Russia amidst the war in Ukraine, check in with an organizer who was trying to turn his community into a city, follow-up on our experiment in polling, and get the latest from our record label — Planet Money Records. Plus, we learn of a romance sparked by a podcast episode!

Check out the original stories:

• Eagles vs. Chickens
• Escape from Russia
• A tale of two cityhoods
• Planet Money tries election polling
• The $100 million deli
• Planet Money Records Vol. 1: Earnest Jackson & Planet Money Records Vol. 2: The Negotiation

Today's show was produced by James Sneed, edited by Jess Jiang, engineered by Robert Rodriguez, and fact checked by Sierra Juarez.
