How can we Bridge the Political Divide? w/ Braver Angels

Dan hosts a conversation with leaders from Braver Angels, a national movement working to depolarize politics by bringing conservatives, liberals, and independents together in civil dialogue. Guests include Charlyne Berens, UNL professor emeritus and author on Nebraska’s nonpartisan legislature; Allen Chlopek, Rural Health Programs Manager for Civic Nebraska; and Ron McFarland, Braver Angels’ Upper Midwest Regional Lead. Together, they explore Nebraska’s political identity, the impact of term limits, the challenges of social media, and how trust—not just data—is key to bridging divides.

Why the Broadway Musical SUFFS Is More Important Than Ever

Broadway actor Marya Grandy and the Lied Center’s Executive Director Bill Stephan join the show to discuss Suffs, the Tony Award-winning musical about the women who fought for the right to vote. We explore the overlooked history behind the suffrage movement, the show’s modern political resonance, and why its message about activism, democracy, and persistence still feels urgent today.

Suffs will play May 5-10, 2026, at the Lied Center for Performing Arts, find ticket information at liedcenter.org
