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.
