America is lost and adrift. We have veered off course so far at this point that we have gone in search of America. Join me for a reflective look into how the fabric of our country is unraveling right before our eyes because of political tribalism. We now live in The Divided States of America and we're trying to find the America we love. Join us in the search, and let's have some uncomfortable, difficult conversations about race, politics and how politics and media fans the flames of division.

    Episode 3: Free Speech and Authoritarianism in America
    Sep 17 2025

    With the weaponization of the Charlie Kirk assassination by MAGA loyalists. Free speech, which was one of Kirk’s main talking points, is now being used as justification for censoring dissenting voices. America is in an existential crisis against itself in this moment in history, and looking for voices of unity and leadership to guide it through this dark period towards the ideal of which it was once founded. The “shining city on the hill” has remained illusive thus far, but there’s still hope for us all to turn it around.

    Episode 2: Empathy, Compassion and the Dangers of Becoming Desensitized to Violence as a Society
    Sep 14 2025

    In Episode 2 we explore the lack of empathy in our country, the dangers of dehumanizing each other and becoming desensitized to the violence in our nation as a society. We talk about how news organizations only reporting one side of the story has led to a great divide amongst Americans and how important it is to confirm your facts through multiple sources before forming an informed opinion. By questioning the information being spoon fed to us through critical thinking, we can stay informed and seek to understand the entirety of the situation with empathy, compassion and understanding.
