https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_(2025_film)Happy new year, everyone, and welcome to a new semester of the show! In today's episode, which was orignally slated to be our end-of-year holiday special but has turned out to be a new years special in which we discuss our favorite media from 2025. Our selections are divided into four categories: books, television shows, movies, and YouTube channels. Come along as we re-experience the greatest moments of our 2025 media consumption experience!

In our next episode, which will come out sometime next month, we will resume our regularly-scheduled show format of going in-depth on a particular political topic with the aim of building consensus over compromise. We're excited for everything that 2026 has in store for us!

If you have any comments or questions, or media you would like to send our way, please email us! [email protected]

Special thanks, as always, to Benjamin Stickney for the amazing intro music!
