Holiday Hot Takes Survival Guide
It's that time of year again; the twinkling lights, the festive eggnog, and the inevitable moment when Aunt Karen brings up the latest drama in Lansing, or Uncle Rick starts arguing about the Detroit Lions’ coaching strategy, which, let's be honest, feels just as politically charged. This year, we're giving you the ultimate Holiday Hot Takes Survival Guide. Whether you're heading back to Traverse City, down to Ann Arbor, or staying right here in Grand Rapids, we’ll teach you how to dodge those verbal landmines, keep the peace (mostly), and preserve those family ties, all while sticking to your advocate principles. Don't let a debate about I-75 traffic or local school board politics ruin your gingerbread cookies.
Today, we welcome our new co-host Adelynn Campbell.
