December 25, 2017: Hour 1

In hour one of Here & Now's Dec. 25, 2017 full broadcast, we take a look back at a tumultuous year for British Prime Minister Theresa May, and look ahead to what's next for the U.K. in 2018 as it exits the European Union. Also, we revisit our conversation with Broadway actress Laura Michelle Kelly, who told us about what it's like to play the role of Anna in the touring production of the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "The King and I." And some big trends emerged in the economy, technology, retail and elsewhere in 2017. The Atlantic's Derek Thompson weighs in on a few that stuck out most.
