The winter holiday season is a key time for nonprofit fundraising — an estimated 30% of annual giving happens in December. But in 2025, highly publicized federal cuts resulted in an individual giving boost throughout the year. In this episode, some nonprofits worry demand will soon outgrow those private donations. Plus: Latino immigrants say deportation fears are reminiscent of the Covid-19 lockdown, communities fight to buy back private utilities, and “This Is Uncomfortable” host Reema Khrais gives tips for sticking to financial New Year’s resolutions.

Hey smarties! Happy New Year. We’re taking a short break for the holidays. In the meantime, we’re sharing an episode from our friends over at “This Is Uncomfortable.” Reema Khrais and the team are getting ready to relaunch the show on Jan. 15. Stay tuned for new episodes!
When newlyweds Chantal and Travis Lisback started searching for their dream home in Seattle, they weren’t entirely on the same page. Chantal was eager to settle down as soon as possible, while Travis was more comfortable waiting a few years. As the search dragged on, what began as a shared dream started to feel more like a standoff.
This week, a story about how a big life decision can bring to light the money and communication issues you didn’t know were there. Plus, later in the episode, Chantal and Travis sit down with financial therapist Aja Evans to unpack what’s happening beneath the surface, and how to approach money fights with more care and intention.

In this episode, Rivers is back in his hometown of Auburn, Alabama, cuttin' it up with some of the finest folks East Alabama has to offer in the "Squalor Parlour." Joining him are Auburn legend Miles Bugg, comedian Nick Morgan-Moore, and community organizer extraordinaire Warren Tidwell. We start by chugging the new Liquid Death energy drink. From there, Miles and Rivers share a wild tale involving an old friend's eyebrow-raising proposal tied to a Russian love bot website. We share some of our best-ofs for 2025, and about the most underrated villain of the year: FBI Director Kash Patel. Kash was recently on a podcast with his girlfriend talking about Uber Eats and Netflix, when he was supposed to be out looking for a triple murderer. We talk a bit about a new use for J.D. Vance's memoir and "Riders on the Storm" by The Doors is our JAM OF THE WEEK! Give us a listen, folks! Happy New Year.

Swiss police say dozens of people have died in a fire at the ski resort of Crans-Montana. More than a hundred others were injured, many seriously. The fire broke out early in the morning in a bar packed with people celebrating the New Year. We hear from the scene.
Also in the programme: as the latest US visa bans and restrictions take effect in a large number of countries, mainly in Africa, we hear from the Nigerian government; plus what's behind the latest purges of China's top military officers?
