This podcast is about finding ways to communicate with people completely different from yourself. We want to bridge the Political Divide with Political Theory and action reconciliation.
We welcome you to sit back, relax, and discuss these conversations wherever you are no matter what color state you live in, blue or red. We’re going to challenge each other to question what makes up the fabric of society and how we can respond to it.
If you have a comment question or rant, we'd love to hear it. Visit our website, BlueStateConversations.com, or email us at BlueStateConversations@gmail.com
