Amid the hum and hullabaloo of pre-Christmas activities, Amy Welborn and I found time to meet at Cahaba Brewing Co.in Avondale, where we discussed what we enjoyed (and, well, didn’t enjoy!) about 2025. Though interspersed with firsthand (!) stories about international travel and biker gangs in Pennsylvania, our conversation centers on culture—in particular, our respective “Best of 2025” lists in the following categories:
Movies
Television
Books
Theater
Music
So, pour a flute of champagne and join us as we look back on 2025 and get ready to usher in 2026. Te Deum laudámus!
