A financial reporter joins us to look at what President-elect Trump has said about economic topics to date, and what impact they may have on personal finances. New research shows that one in five Americans grew up in an interfaith home. We find out how big a shift that is from earlier generations, and what it means for how religion fits into American life. If shorter days make you want to hibernate, you’re not alone. And we find out why some animals hibernate while others don’t, and what triggers the behavior.
