True Progress: Polarization
A podcast documentary investigating one of the biggest issues dividing Americans and the world today: polarization.
About the Series
True Progress is a podcast documentary dedicated to investigating the forces that can move our society forward. Our first installment focuses on one of the biggest and most harmful barriers to progress today: polarization. Polarization is something we’ve all heard about and possibly even felt in our everyday relationships. With another presidential election on the horizon and polls showing America’s widening divides, it’s time to take a serious look at how our society became fractured and what we can do, as individuals and collectively, to heal. In conversations with experts, True Progress explores the causes of polarization, its effects on our society, and pathways to solutions.
