Hey, it's Lauren Dragon from Wire Cutter,
the product recommendation service from the New York Times, and I test headphones.

We're going to put on some noise-canceling headphones and see how well they actually block out the sound.
I have 3,136 entries in my database.
Kids, workout, what version of Bluetooth?

Hey everyone, it's Rachel.
We're doing something a little different today.
We're going to take a pause this week from the culture specials that we've been sharing on Sundays,
because today we wanted to share the first episode of a new series from our colleagues over at Serial.
It's called The Preventionist.
Like so many of their shows, it's a remarkable story.
This one is about a bunch of things,
including families navigating surprising and enormous challenges,
and a public official who's trying to do the right thing in a very complicated situation.
It's really good.
The episode we're sharing today is the first of a three-part series,
