(43:59) Next Week's Preview & Wrap Up

In this episode, we start with developments in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie and the unsettling contradiction of living in a world saturated with surveillance yet still short on clear answers. Then we pivot to pop culture, Hilary Duff’s comeback tour (and those very real ticket prices), the chaos of The Traitors, and our disappointment with Love Is Blind: Denver. We also debut a new segment, Pardon My Reaction, unpacking viral moments that feel almost too absurd to be real and, at times, unintentionally hilarious.

From there, we zoom out to something bigger. AI isn’t just a buzzword, it's accelerating fast and quietly reshaping how we work. We talk about how it’s already changing day to day tasks, the growing conversation around job disruption, what it could mean for our kids’ futures, and how to hold both optimism and uncertainty at the same time.

Last but certainly not least, we close by honoring Women’s History Month with the story of Phoebe “Febb” Ensminger Burn, the mother whose letter helped secure the deciding vote for the 19th Amendment. It’s a powerful reminder that some of history’s most consequential moments start at home, and that conviction, courage, and a well-timed nudge can change everything. We could all stand to channel a little more Febb energy.
