Welcome to this episode of What’s The Frequency, as we have reached the final week of 2025, which does not seem possible.

With this being the end of the year, I am bringing back some of the most notable pieces we brought to listeners.

Some of these illuminate some of the most important hard news that happened over the year, while others dig into cultural trends and involve visiting many varying places in Siouxland. Many of these were personally fun to produce, by going out and talking with people all over the area.

Some of the pieces you will hear in this retrospective include a talk with a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, hearing about a concert by music icon Bob Dylan, checking in on libraries and museums, and learning about a very distinctive college Disinformation & Media Analysis Club and more.

We start with bringing back part of a January 2025 episode of What's The Frequency, which aired in the first week of the President Donald Trump term, with issues related to immigration.
