    We're back to wrap up the year with another bonus episode! We (Alex and Niko), talk about being in the post-Ned universe, the content bringing us joy, Bob Dylan on Willie Nelson, Alex tells us about some records he's been enjoying, and we read a little from the official OC book: Welcome to the OC: An Oral History. Thanks so much to everyone for listening and supporting this year! We'll be back in 2026, see you there.
