About this episode

The hosts reflect on the season's favorite episodes and share meaningful memories as they close out the year.

We talk about our favorite episodes of the season - the ones that stuck with us, surprised us, scared us, made us laugh, or just felt the most “Rad.” From strange mysteries to personal obsessions, we break down why certain stories lingered long after the microphones were turned off. We also unwrap one of the most meaningful gifts we’ve ever shared on the show - a copy of The Secret: A Treasure Hunt , tipped off to us by one of our listeners. A book that isn’t just about hidden gems and riddles… but about curiosity, wonder, and the thrill of chasing something magical just because it’s there. From there, the conversation wanders (the way it always does). We talk about what we’re excited to explore next season. The stories we can’t wait to tell. The mysteries still calling to us. And what the Christmas season means to…
