Nobody's Side
This podcast is about the kind of nation we want to be, what we value, and what we hope for. We're talking to everyday Americans (at least one Republican and one Democrat in each state) not to argue, but to listen. It’s about asking deep questions: do Americans still want to live in a country with people who don’t always agree? Do we still care about decency, compromise, and common ground? This show is about listening deeply, asking hard questions, and searching—together—for reasons to believe in one another again.
