Extra! Extra! In this special roundtable edition of our podcast, two red and two blue Braver Angels leaders square off about the media. Where do the left and right step up or fall short in their approach to the Fourth Estate? Is all the partisan messaging out of line, or do the ends justify the memes? Featuring John Wood, Jr. (national ambassador), April Lawson (director of debates), Ciaran O’Connor (CMO), and Mónica Guzmán (director of digital and storytelling).

Also in this episode: Ciaran gets real about the tension between his work to depolarize America and his frustration with politicians who are really not helping, and you’ll learn which New York Times columnist has an office April can only describe as “an explosion of cool, interesting, and sexy,” which Fox News star Mónica would love to spend a day with, and why you don’t want to be caught in the ring with John.

What tough topic should we tackle next month? Email media@braverangels.org to share your thoughts!
