Civil Discourse: This Is Not a Safe Space: Recent Episodes
Charles & Mike
"Civil Discourse: This is Not a Safe Space” is the conversation we’ve all been wanting… needing to have… but forgot how to have it. In this show for our time, Charles and Mike take on a wide range of challenging, topical, and often divisive issues from Oscar incivility to the culture of police brutality to ill-mannered children, failing education, and misguided parenting. Bringing the diversity of their experiences to the table, these to unlikely friends are a much-needed reminder that we can have direct and honest disagreement, without being disagreeable. Tune into their lively discussion and if you wish, you too can join in with “Civil Discourse!!"
