Being Human in Divided Times

This podcast episode of Village SquareCast will drop on February 1st. You can find it wherever you get your podcasts or at https://podfollow.com/villagesquarecast/view. 

It’s hard to get away from the doom scroll that typifies our life and times right now — we’re clobbered with toxic sludge when we turn on the  news, catch up with friends on social media or just try to live life without someone forcing us to choose whether we’re one of “us” or one of “them.” The signs of our difficulties are all around us and it’s hard to underestimate its weight on our being. In this episode of Village SquareCast we’ll chat with founder Liz Joyner about the unique journey of two decades seeking to (in the words of one of Liz’s heroes, Patricia Nelson Limerick) “let friendship redeem the republic.” We’ll travel from Washington to Paris to Salt Lake City to Tallahassee in this epic tale of tilting at some serious windmills — while endeavoring to keep laughing.
