Season 1, Episode 30:
Dec. 8, 2025
19:31
This week, we’re cranking the dial all the way into 1990s radio nostalgia — where big-hearted updates meet big-haired energy, and every announcement lands like a power ballad hitting its final key change. From seasonal well-being tools and inclusive recruitment support to ERG community building and statewide planning for Oregon’s older adults, we’re spinning a playlist packed with clarity, care, and a few unexpected deep cuts. Then, as always, we close with a Writer’s Round-Up that pays tongue-in-cheek tribute to the era of dramatic dedications and even more dramatic feelings.
What’s Inside
Deadline: ODHS (5:51)
Seasonal well-being supports
CRM skill-building, neurodivergent-inclusive recruitment
The RaIN ERG’s year-end gathering
Mission: In Policy (10:56)
Plain Language Update – Avoiding Idioms
Classification Implementation
APD’s 2026–2030 State Plan on Aging
Writer’s Round-Up (16:01)
A full-tilt, melodramatic long-distance dedication from the people of Oregon to the people of ODHS — tissues, eye-rolls, and heartfelt excess included
