About the Show
The country is polarized and stuck. There’s a lot of worst case scenarios. Dan goes out looking for the way forward, and finds a country that is full of rage and fear, but also people who are joyfully and creatively pushing the country forward against all odds. Based on immersive reporting on the front lines of the biggest political battles in the country, from school board showdowns in Sarasota, Florida to organizers in the streets of Atlanta, from the churches of Charleston, South Carolina to a former violent extremist in Missouri who’s deradicalized hundreds of violent extremists. Encounter the moving, funny, raw, surprising true stories of unlikely changemakers in this fresh and urgent dive into America’s psyche in 2024.
