from Bridging Philly · host Audacy

In an extremely divisive era of politics, is it possible to reconcile with family members whom you disagree with, and whose beliefs you might even feel are dangerous?

He joins us along with Philadelphia native Frank Meeink, author of "Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead", who is giving a talkback at the show. They both speak with Racquel Williams about what draws people to white supremacist groups and what it takes to leave.See “RIFT, OR WHITE LIES” presented by InterAct Theatre Company now through April 27.Then, on Shara in the City, we get to know Philly’s thriving dodgeball community.
