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.

Can you imagine working at the White House? Or on Capitol Hill?
Well, thanks to an Instagram account called @Dear_White_Staffers - and the voices of many congressional staffers who are taking the opportunity to share their own stories - many of us can now get an idea of what it might be like. And the picture isn’t pretty. In fact, it’s bad enough that they’ve announced their intentions to form a Congressional Workers Union. So, this week we’re taking some time to break down what’s happening on The Hill, and explore what unions have mean for workers in America.
In this episode, Savannah mentioned a book called Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men, by Caroline Criado Perez.
