For the first half hour, we speak with well-known Spanish guitarist, Benise, who's known for creating a one-of-a-kind musical experience.

Then, we discuss ways to stay safe when holiday shopping online and in-person. Given how stressful and time-consuming holiday shopping can be, it can be very easy to get distracted and lower your guard to potential danger and scammers.

We talk with two guests who offer their insight on keeping your guard up during in-person and online shopping this holiday season, the warning signs to be on the lookout for, and precautions that can minimize the risk of danger.
