This is a podcast series called 'How Do We Fix It?' that explores how Americans can come together despite political differences. The show features episodes about reducing polarization, having better conversations across party lines, and understanding why our democracy feels broken. Recent episodes include discussions with experts on constructive conflict, social media's role in dividing us, and how people from different political sides can find common ground.
The hosts interview researchers, journalists, and bridge-building organizations like Braver Angels who work to heal political divisions. One episode even has the hosts critique their own political sides rather than attacking opponents. The series is funded by Solutions Journalism Network and aims to help listeners understand polarization as 'the problem that eats all other problems.' Topics covered include whether America is too fragmented, how social media affects political discourse, and practical skills for having curious conversations with people who disagree with you.
The podcast is available on multiple platforms and represents an effort to move beyond angry political tweets toward more productive dialogue.
