ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
The antidote to the sound bite mentality that dominates the airwaves and cable shows, Common Ground with Jane Whitney is a nationally syndicated PBS public affairs program that brings together recognized experts and artists in town-hall style conversations about the country's most critical issues. Built on the idea that civil discussion is the lifeblood of finding ways to live together - common ground - the series strives to reaffirm the democratic principle that out of many, we are one.
