The Nature of Our Division

Tell Me More Podcast (Season 2/Episode 1) explores the many ways we are a divided country

This first episode of the second season, The Nature of Our Division, takes a high-altitude approach. Instead of a single issue, we discuss the fault lines of division across American society. Valerie Alexander, Dr. Roger Blackwell, and Curt Bear join host Matt Lehrman for a courageous conversation on what divides us - and what just might hold us together as a nation.
