We began the program with four interesting guests on topics we think you should know more about!

Adrian Oomer began giving to the Homeless Prevention Council in 2022, when he was in second grade, after learning there were people on the Cape in danger of losing their homes.  Now, in grade 5, at age 10, he’s running a pop-up kitchen (Loco Dos) where customers can pre-order meals to support the Cape’s homeless.
Guest:  Adrian Oomer, a fifth grader from Brewster, MA, who was named the “Philanthropist of the Year” by the Philanthropy Partners of the Cape and Islands

By now, most of your holiday shopping should be done….whew!  But truthfully, that’s the least of your worries!  Come January, the harsh reality of all that spending will kick in. Are you prepared to pay for it all?  Some shoppers are still paying off debt from the 2024 holiday season! Sara’s here to help!
Guest: Sara Rathner, Credit Card Expert and Senior Writer for NerdWallet

Parkinson’s disease is now growing as a neurodegenerative disease faster than Alzheimer’s disease.  Although Parkinson’s is on the rise, there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it.
Guest: Dr. Ray Dorsey, Director of the Center for the Brain & the Environment at the Atria Health and Research Institute

If your wallet feels thinner this year from all the holiday shopping, you may want to point the finger at A.I.   Artificial Intelligence powered cyberattacks hit more than 80% of small businesses this year, and that cost is being passed on to you (the consumer)!
Guest: James Lee, President of the Identity Theft Resource Center
