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 <a href="https://www.instagram.com/samsanders/"target="_blank" >Sam Sanders</a>, host of KCRW's The Sam Sanders Show, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/slayzhon/?hl=en"target="_blank" >Tre'vell Anderson</a>, 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.
