Happy Half Hour (12/1/25)

Today, we’re chatting about siblings who join a mysterious community of runaways at an abandoned ranch; an Asian American community in Massachusetts that is thrown into chaos after a false missile alert; and a girl who doesn’t believe in love—and the man who is determined to prove her wrong by being her matchmaker!
