"I think there are some solutions to be found in this town. Cuz there are a lot of people who care that are really smart people." -- Mike Wolcott "A big part of it is to getting people in the same room together. It's really hard to call somebody a name, or even to identify a person as an enemy or a problem. The divide can be bridged by just being in the same room." -- Jason Cassidy We also feature conversational prompts from clips featuring the insights and wisdom of Bob Trausch, and Justin Lee author of Talking Across the Divide: how to communicate with people you disagree with and maybe change the world.
