How can we be hopeful at a time of so much anger, division, violence and despair when our political leaders speak with such venom about their opponents? “What we’re doing now is sorting into our tribes and silos,” says our guest Maryanne Colter, state coordinator for Braver Angels of Illinois . With curiosity and humility she works to physically bring people of opposing views together in the same room. “This is where the magic happens, when we can sit across the table and treat people as human beings.” Here we learn about different types of Braver Angels workshops and how they often surprise and change the perspectives of those who take part. “That’s what brings me hope,” Maryanne tells us.
“How Do We Fix It?” is a weekly, half-hour podcast about solving problems ranging from the geo-political to the personal. Veteran journalists Richard Davies and Jim Meigs interview the smartest minds in the field, and look for real-world solutions.
