Episode 20: December 17, 2025
The media has always played a powerful role in shaping how we see the world, but over the past few decades, that role has changed dramatically. From the trusted voices of evening newscasts to the endless scroll of social media, the way we get our news, and who we trust to deliver it, has evolved beyond recognition. The rise and fall of traditional media has left many of us wondering: abour the cost of this constant flood of information, and how has it shaped the way we live, think, and connect.. Tina Pappas brings a wealth of insight to that conversation. Tina is a veteran journalist with decades of experience across television, cable, and local news. Early in her career, she landed an internship with the legendary Bill Beutel and went on to work at ABC News before expanding into various cable networks in New York City. After relocating to northern New Jersey, she returned to her roots in local reporting, where she’s most proud of covering the issues that truly matter to her community.
Also in this episode, Pamela Martorana, a licensed professional counselor and founder of Kinderkamack Counseling, offers strategies to navigate the holidays.
