In an age when saying the wrong thing in a Twitter post could leave you ghosted by onetime friends—or worse—we find our country torn apart at the political seams. But things don’t need to be this way. Constructive social discourse is not dead, it just needs a little resuscitation. From CurtCo Media.
Consider Meet Me in the Middle your political rehab. Each week, Ed Larson (Pulitzer Prize winning historian, author, and world-wide lecturer) invites guests from across the ideological spectrum—including politicians, activists, and celebrities—to sit down, discuss the issues, and if not find consensus, at least find common ground. So bring an open mind and remember, we’re more alike than different.

Great variety of topics and speaker
I enjoy the rational bipartisan platform and discussions.
Not a political debate
Great listens with opinions from all sides. It's so hard to find unbiased shows that really try to find compromise. I very much appreciate this!
Makan Delrahim - Trump's Antitrust Chief
Regardless of your political persuasion, you should give this a listen. Understand how the current administration defines "antitrust." Hear how the Antitrust Division regards privacy. No yelling. No screaming. Listen with respect - even if you disagree.
