EmbarkJack Monson and Liz on Reality TV, the Midterms and What's NextSocial Joey Radio's Jack Monson and I once again talk about our differences on the political front, but form a united front on our shared disdain of Reality TV.  Our conversation soon leads to a political discussion and how the media magnifies the bad behavior of politicians. As usual, we have different takes on the attack of Paul Pelosi, our preferred midterm elections outcomes and our take on current circumstances as we see it. We agree way too much is spent on getting people elected, and not enough on the people those would-be leaders are supposed to represent.

EmbarkWhy Can't We Talk to Each Other?We hear a lot from some people. If you're on social media, perhaps we hear too much.But what about the rest of us? We're mum on many topics, especially those that may be polarizing. Let's be brave, be open and at least start a difficult conversation. We might learn something and even through conflict create a relationship based on mutual respect, if not agreement.Jack Monson and Liz Solar look at political polarization,  labelling other people and reality TV, as well as question who or what might bring us together.
