About Us

The Podcast

The podcast was born out of frustration with society's current state of discourse. We believe real-life conversations shouldn't be reduced to Twitter-like exchanges, so we launched our podcast to foster open discussions across diverse perspectives to find common ground.

Our diverse guests come from various political backgrounds, allowing us to explore different perspectives and challenge our beliefs. We tackle current news topics and delve deeper into broader issues, using recent events as a launching pad for thought-provoking discussions.

We aim to promote healthy dialogue and understanding among people of all backgrounds, focusing on those with differing viewpoints. We can find common ground and bridge divides by fostering open, honest conversations. Join us as we navigate complex issues and strive for a more united and empathetic society. We invite you to listen and engage as we promote constructive dialogue and understanding. We hope you enjoy the show!
