Four stories. Four ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances . . . that take some surprising turns. In this limited series, Monica Guzman follows individuals into moments of extreme conflict. Stakes are high—relationships, careers, and communities on the line. But just when you think you know how the story ends, one person does something to turn the whole plot on its head. These are gripping looks at courage, compassion, forgiveness, and the surprising ways people respond when tension is at its peak. Welcome to Dispatches from the Divide. From the team behind Top of Mind with Julie Rose, Dispatches from the Divide is a co-production of BYUradio, Braver Angels, and Disagree Better.

Grieving

I’ve enjoyed this podcast immensely for a while now, but today’s episode hit especially close to home. I lost a dear friend two days ago, and the timing for this episode could not have been better. Thank you for being honest and open and accepting of all kinds of grief. I’ve shared this episode with many people already.

Found this pod through The Tangle. Like the diversity of topics. And how each side is thoughtfully addressed and explained.

I love Julie’s thoughtful approach to issues. I’d love to hear an episode on DEI, interviewing employers and admissions workers with experience in implementing it. Love to hear the pros and cons.

keep it technical

I might as well be listening to NPR pushing its agenda. I’m pretty sure this podcast is just an affiliate. Too bad. Super unfortunate BYU Radio pays it too.
