    Really appreciate Wilk leading the way not just in having conversations across differences, but in forging relationships with people that have different views. These conversations are informative and exemplary. They challenge assumptions and broaden our own understanding. Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend!

  • Connection, not division!

    It’s gratifying to find a platform that amplifies the importance of seeking and

    finding common ground, rather than focusing on why “the other” should be demonized, ignored… or worse.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

You Can’t Name Injustice Without Knowing What Justice Is – DTH Episode 338 with John Adams
Q: What are some of the things that they're going to be able to take away from this book in terms of hopefulness and kind of that better understanding of morality and justice and truth?
Adams says the story presents people around the world as sharing fundamental hopes for themselves, their families and communities, despite differences in culture and tradition. He adds that imagining a utopia made him recognize how far the world is from one.
You Can’t Name Injustice Without Knowing What Justice Is – DTH Episode 338 with John Adams
Q: Talk to me about that dynamic, because I'm really interested to get your feel on that.
Adams explains that Socrates asks people to move beyond examples toward a definition of justice. He argues that power may determine what gets called justice in practice, but that does not make it a sound definition; believing in values such as love being better than hate implies a higher truth.
Friendship Across the Political Divide: Lessons From William F. Buckley Jr. – DTH Episode 337 with Josh Cohen
Q: What made you start thinking about this polarized era? And what about your story led you to William F. Buckley?
Josh Cohen explains his long-standing curiosity about Buckley, his fascination with Buckley's friendships with liberals, and how this sparked his book's focus on extracting universal values for cross-partisan friendship.
Why Avoiding Conflict Doesn't Mean You're Keeping the Peace – DTH Episode 327 with Kelsey Blahnik
Q: What is assertive peacemaking mean, and how does it differ from other approaches to conflict?
Assertive peacemaking sits between passivity and aggression, encouraging people to express needs clearly, set boundaries, and remain curious and respectful. It emphasizes internal regulation, self-awareness, and compassionate outreach to others, rather than avoiding conflict or escalating it.
Why Avoiding Conflict Doesn't Mean You're Keeping the Peace – DTH Episode 327 with Kelsey Blahnik
Q: So the book is The And Way, Assertive Peacemaking in a Divided World. Kelsey, my first question is what in your story led you to write this book?
Kelsey describes moving across the country and learning to engage with people of all political convictions. The pandemic highlighted the division, which inspired her to create concrete skills for maintaining relationships and navigating conflict, not just for herself but for her clients and for her children.
