Description
I’ve found that a lot of the news coverage the mainstream media provides is designed to divide and separate people along political and personal beliefs. In my experience, when you actually get to know just about any person in this country, you’ll realize you agree with them on more than 80% of what you’re talking about.
The purpose of this show is to bridge those gaps, and show that we have more in common than we know, or maybe even want to admit.
I look forward to engaging in conversations with both guests and listeners on both sides of the aisle, as we try to find ways to unite and improve our community. Who knows… we might even laugh a little bit and have fun while we do it.
