Goodbye 2025: The Year That Changed Everything Goodbye 2025: The Year That Changed Everything As 2025 comes to a close, it’s time to pause—and take one last, honest look at a year that often felt overwhelming. The first year of Trump’s return to power reshaped politics almost daily, while breakthroughs and breakdowns across science, health, entertainment, and pop culture competed for our attention nonstop. Some stories inspired hope. Others shocked, exhausted, or divided us. And many lived somewhere in the uncomfortable middle. This episode of The Karel Cast puts 2025 into a time capsule—connecting the dots between the moments that defined the year and asking what they mean as we step into the future. If you felt like 2025 was a lot… you weren’t wrong. Let’s talk about the year that was. 📌 The Karel Cast is supported by viewer donations at patreon.com/reallykarel 👍 Please watch, like, and subscribe at youtube.com/reallykarel 🎧 Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartMedia, Spreaker, and more. 📺 Live Monday–Thursday at 10:30am PT, with clips on TikTok and Instagram.

Why New Year’s Resolutions Fail, SF Takes on Junk Food, and This Gay Week Why New Year’s Resolutions Fail, SF Takes on Junk Food, and This Gay Week It’s New Year’s resolution season—but what if making resolutions is actually setting yourself up to fail? As millions promise dramatic life changes, we take a hard look at why New Year’s resolutions often backfire, fuel shame, and create unrealistic expectations instead of real growth. Plus, San Francisco is taking an aggressive stand against junk food, filing lawsuits aimed at companies that profit from unhealthy products. Is this smart public health policy—or government overreach into what we eat? And Scott Jacobson joins me for This Gay Week, breaking down the latest LGBTQ news, culture, and political developments you need to know as we head into the new year. 📌 The Karel Cast is supported by viewer donations at patreon.com/reallykarel 👍 Please watch, like, and subscribe at youtube.com/reallykarel 🎧 Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartMedia, Spreaker, and more. 📺 Live Monday–Thursday at 10:30am PT, with clips on TikTok and Instagram.

The True Meaning of Christmas (It’s Not What You Think) | Karel Cast The True Meaning of Christmas (It’s Not What You Think) | Karel Cast Every year we decorate the tree, exchange gifts, sing the songs, and gather with loved ones — but do we ever stop to ask why we do any of it? On this Christmas Eve episode of The Karel Cast, we take a deeper look at the true meaning of Christmas: where the traditions came from, what they were meant to symbolize, and how the holiday has evolved into what it is today. We’ll also talk honestly about why Christmas can feel magical for some — and painfully lonely or depressing for others. From nostalgia and loss to hope and connection, this is a reflective, thoughtful conversation about what this night really represents in our modern world. Whether Christmas fills you with joy, sadness, or a mix of both, this episode is for you. The Karel Cast is supported by your donations at patreon.com/reallykarel. Please watch, like, comment, and subscribe at youtube.com/reallykarel. The Karel Cast is heard on all major streaming platforms — from Apple Music to iHeartRadio, Spotify to Spreaker. Live Monday through Thursday at 10:30 AM PST, and streaming on TikTok and Instagram.

Trying to keep the magic alive this holiday season ✨, but wow, those end-of-year tasks + the looming fear of the new year are really testing me. Anyone else feeling the weight of wrapping up loose ends while dreaming of fresh starts? #HolidayFeels #EndOfYearReflection

Even though the term
Project 2025 comes with hefty negative connotations, but I am choosing to reclaim that term and created my own document to set the tone and set the goals that I want to see next year.
