Ending on a High Note: The Better Angels of 2025

   As this year comes to a close, it felt right to do something a little different. No outrage. No doomscrolling. No reminder of why your eye twitches when cable news comes on. Instead, this episode is a full hour devoted entirely to the good stuff — the stories that quietly reminded us, again and again, that decency didn’t take the year off.    If you’re exhausted, discouraged, or just need proof that 2025 wasn’t only chaos and noise, this episode is for you. Consider it a reminder — and a promise — that while the bad news is loud, the good news is persistent. And it’s still out there, doing the work.    Here’s to ending the year the same way we end every episode: with a story that makes you breathe a little easier — and a wish that 2026 brings even more reasons to believe.
