As the year draws to a close, our podcast crew revisited some of 2025’s greatest stories. Bella Ross provided a follow-up on an earlier video she created, and Jakob McWhinney gave us the latest on what may have been the year’s most clicked story: bots scamming colleges.

Ross made an Instagram video around the middle of 2025 and we went through it and updated the biggest questions we had during the summer.

Jakob McWhinney updated us on a story he did about colleges being scammed by bots.

We appreciate everyone who shares their time with us and makes local news a priority all year long. Enjoy the holidays!
