Caitlin M. Green and Trent R. Nelson interview experts who weigh in on current debates. In the process they seek not only to uncover answers to the questions of the day, but to explore why they are being asked in the first place. To understand the questions we ask, they believe, is half the answer.

Worthless liberal/leftist drivel. I am dumber for having given it a chance. All feelings no facts - classic arrogant liberals.
but snickering is half the podcast.
Audio could use a tune up. Just put a blanket or foam up in front of you when you record. It will damp the room noise and fix most of the problem.
Thank you for the great podcast. I am a new listener but I look forward to your episodes.
Please get some professional products for your audio. Dr Green in particular drops out and is muddy sounding. Really terrible sound that detracts from what is being discussed. And while guests have been great, Mr Nelson adds essentially nothing to the mix. Great potential but very amateurish production.
