Happy New Year from Spanning the State. Brian holds down the first episode of the year solo and does the first Spinning the State of 2025. Then he shares stories from listeners about their News year's Day polar plunge experiences. Brian then talks about the chaos of too many zip codes in the county of Somers, WI and how it's far from being resolved. Later he chats about the sad closing of several Wisconsin breweries in 2024 and how the culture of American beer consumption is changing.
