  • The most important conversation we can have today

    Considering how hard it is to have a normal conversation about important topics, this podcast is necessary to help us all do better at disagreeing. Memes and 3-minute radio broadcasts are diluting what should be conversations into real, civil discussions. Civil society is the third, and I'd argue, most important, pillar of democracy. If you're worried about the future of our country, please listen. It's helpful as well as being fun and interesting.
