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 going unscripted with a potpourri of election-adjacent topics centered around one theme: What’s really on the line this Election Day? We’re talking about:
-
How political messaging is making Americans feel like they have to choose between putting food on the table and saving democracy.
-
The difference in the pre-election narratives we’re seeing from the Republicans and the Democrats.
-
The differences in red and blue economic policies.
-
The rise of stochastic terrorism after the 2020 election, especially against political figures.
-
The number of election deniers on midterm ballots, and how that might undermine the integrity of elections in the future.
