Politics and Religion. We’re not supposed to talk about that, right? Wrong! We only say that nowadays because the loudest, most extreme voices have taken over the whole conversation. Well, we‘re taking some of that space back! If you’re dying for some dialogue instead of all the yelling; if you know it’s okay to have differences without having to hate each other; if you believe politics and religi... more

    “When did capitalizing on devastating natural disasters to score political points become a thing?" – Corey Nathan

    2005 Hurricane Katrina. I was 23, so that would have been my earliest recollection of it becoming “a thing.”

  • Great insights, great guests, ideas you can use!

    I am always entertained, fascinated and taught when I listen to Corey and his guests. Used to be a 'compassionate conservative' and in most ways I still am. As a Gold Star dad and faithful Christian, I truly want what is best of all people - not just 'my team.' I try to live that out and my time with Corey helps me consider how to best engage those around me without getting into the P&R stuff before it is safe to do so. Thanks Corey. Would love to meet and talk sometime.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Prophecy, Power, and the Algorithm — with Carissa Véliz of Oxford's Institute for Ethics in AI
Q: Can you describe the connection between prophecy and power in modern technology?
Predictions shape how people act, not because they reveal facts about the world, but because they influence decisions and create expectations, often driven by the interests of those who profit from predictive systems.
Caesar or Jackson? Jeffrey Rosen on the Constitution, the Founders, and What’s at Stake Today
Q: How do Hamilton and Jefferson's constitutional interpretations continue to influence contemporary Supreme Court debates?
Hamilton favored a liberal construction that allowed implied powers to promote national prosperity, while Jefferson pushed strict constructionism; today, justices align along liberal vs. strict lines that echo those earlier debates, shaping interpretations of federal power and the role of the presidency.
Caesar or Jackson? Jeffrey Rosen on the Constitution, the Founders, and What’s at Stake Today
Q: What is the core difference between Caesarist tendencies and Jacksonian populism as Rosen describes it?
Caesarist leaders centralize authority and subvert the separation of powers for personal power, while Jacksonian figures use strong executive action but remain within the constitutional framework, fighting elites and pursuing the public good.
A WEAVE Conversation | Jaime Encinas on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Breaking Cycles, and Wheeling to Healing
Q: How can people across political and religious divides have better conversations?
By seeing and hearing each other, creating safe spaces, and starting with small, relational steps like sharing meals or having open conversations, rather than assuming motives or labeling others; the goal is to build trust and practice presence in daily interactions.
A WEAVE Conversation | Jaime Encinas on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Breaking Cycles, and Wheeling to Healing
Q: What are adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and why are they central to your work?
ACEs are traumatic experiences before age 18, such as domestic violence and addiction, which shape coping mechanisms and life trajectories. The point of ACEs work is to shift the focus from diagnosing the person to understanding what happened to them, which opens pathways for healing and breaking cycles of violence.
