Welcome to the third annual IBAMMYs Culture Awards Show, where we
reflect and honor the best and worst cultural moments of the
year.

Brittany is joined by Sam Sanders, host of KCRW's The Sam Sanders
Show, and Tre'vell Anderson, host of The Seated podcast. All three
nominated a person or moment for each of the four categories. NPR's
Culture Committee then voted on a winner. Today, we reveal the

remember or forget.
