UnityNow! with Host Toby Davis
Media echo chambers, political depolarization, the perils of social media, the movement for slow media and a reengagement in civics. I spill it about not wanting to say the pledge of allegiance in elementary school because I believed it violated the separation of church and state and using title IX to get a women’s soccer team in high school. The threat of China, the prospect of another civil war, and why listening and humility are key to moving forward with conversations across divides. What humans are good at, and what holds us back. How art and religion make us human.
