The kind of conversations we need in a polarized, angry world
Podcast Addict52 years agosoufee108- Concern Citizen
I stumbled upon this Podcast series recently after following Jonathan Haight’s talk about the extreme polarity happening in the society today. This series has awaken my inner humanists and the yearn for opening the dialogues between today’s society divide. I hope we can bring your program to New Zealand universities soon.

United States2 years ago - Interesting but let guests driver conversation
Great topics and interesting guests. However, at times frustrating to listen, speakers interrupt each other, and I feel that the host wants to talk and drive conversation too much. I listen to hear the guests speak, and am less engaged when the host interrupts or overly tries to “keep things on track”.
