You'll hear David Graham on Project 2025, Liz Oyer on the plethora of presidential pardons, Tina Brown on the year's biggest scandals here at home and across the pond. Plus, many more. It's a crash course in the last twelve months, how we made it through the year, and a look at what might be coming in 2026.
