Together, we research and break down complex, and even controversial, topics facing our society. Our goal isn’t to convince you to see things our way. We want to build a foundational understanding of these complicated topics so that we can address them together. We talk about some pretty heavy stuff on this show, and we tackle topics that might feel polarizing. But we do that because we have an important goal in mind: We want to change the way people have hard conversations. And, we think we can do that using research and discussion to create common understanding. And, since you’re here, we hope you want the same thing. So we suggest getting comfortable, and maybe having a good drink on hand as we work through this stuff. Welcome to our fireside.

This week, we’re covering the sexiest of all topics… Infrastructure!
Okay okay, not objectively sexy. But sexy in that reality TV drama way. Funding for essential functions of U.S. infrastructure hang in the balance as Democrats in Congress battle it out over social programs and the national debt. Plus also, we figured out just how long it would take to earn $3.5 Trillion. Listen in to find out.
