Chad Holmes kicks off December with a chilly forecast and hot topics, featuring Nancy Stencil from the Marathon County Democratic Party. They delve into local politics, critiquing the Wausau mayor’s veto struggles, and the county's ICE partnership. Stencil voices optimism for 2026, hoping for political change as Trump’s approval wanes. The podcast also highlights two festive contests: Civic Media's 'Grown-Up Christmas List' and WXCO’s local holiday giveaway, offering listeners chances to win from local businesses. The episode wraps with a discussion on dream lengths and a teaser for tomorrow’s guest, Miss Marathon County.
