What if the problem isn’t that we disagree, but that we’ve stopped talking to each other?
In this episode, I’m joined by Ed Manzi, founder of Unmuted, a civic dialogue initiative that’s reimagining how Americans engage in conversations about politics. Instead of shouting across social media, Ed is bringing people together in person to debate complex issues with curiosity, humor, and respect.
Together, we explore:
* Why social media algorithms are creating separate realities
* How echo chambers shape the way we see politics
* Why disagreement doesn’t have to lead to division
* The importance of making civic engagement accessible and engaging
* How meaningful conversations can strengthen democracy
Whether you’re politically engaged or exhausted by today’s political climate, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on what it means to listen, challenge assumptions, and reconnect with people who think differently.
If this conversation made you think differently about politics, civic engagement, or the value of honest dialogue, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
