This is hidden brain.
I'm Shankar Vedantam.
For a long time, we've been closing out our show with a shout out to an unsung hero, a colleague, a friend, or a family member who's helped make our work possible.
From behind the scenes recently, we decided to ask you to tell us about the unsung heroes in your life.
Hi, Shankar.
I would like to talk about my heroes.
Hey.
I wanted to share my story about an unsung hero.
My unsung hero is the man in the Panama hat on the flight to Boston.
Is the plane near?
My unsung hero would definitely have to be my fifth grade teacher, misses Abrams.
She was trying to.
I don't know who they were.
I can't even remember their face.
But I do remember what they did for me.
I can't even express to you how much you've changed my life.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Here's one response that we wanted to share from a listener in Newton, Massachusetts.
