2025 broke a lot of illusions. A sober look back at a disorienting year — and what comes next.

In this episode of Ami’s House, Ami and Michael reflect on 2025 and look ahead to 2026, unpacking the collapse of trust in media, the fracturing of political coalitions, and the growing realization that many voices people relied on were never built to carry that weight.

They talk candidly about disillusionment with podcast culture, the right’s internal split over Israel, the speed of AI-driven change, and why the next phase isn’t about louder narratives — but discernment, integrity, and community.

This is a grounded, end-of-year conversation for listeners who’ve been paying attention and trying to make sense of how quickly everything shifted.
