Sara J. is getting nostalgic with a look back at 2025!

From a rundown of the captivating guests she’s welcomed to the show, to the launch of the RoughGauge featured artist series, the addition of two new photographers to the DATC Media team, and the company’s expansion to an international presence—this year has been full of milestones.

She also reflects on a year-in-the-making event that turned out to be even more meaningful than anticipated, and gives a sneak peek at what’s coming in 2026 from DATC Media and the many projects she's involved with.

This episode is the perfect way to cap off an iconic year! 💫

New episodes of the podcast return January 6th, 2026!
