- News
Matt and Emily started dating in November of 2016, so they’ve had a lot of politics to talk about from the beginning, and have managed to do so civilly, kindly and still get into bed with each other at the end of the day. Every time you get on Facebook, watch the news or gather around the family table for dinner you can watch conversations devolve into nasty arguments with name calling, insult trading and subsequent unfriending. And while it's impossible to agree with everyone about everything, we think people should be able to have civil conversations.That’s what this podcast is, an attempt by Matt and Emily to have civil conversations focused on a wide range of political topics. Cause if they can do it, so can you! They can’t promise the conversations will be filled with agreements, smiles and butterflies. But they can promise to be on their best behavior, be respectful of one another and to share it with you. Join in on the discussion!
