Homelessness Through a Peacemaking Lens

From Good Radio Shows, Inc. | Part of the Peace Talks Radio: Weekly Hour Long Episodes series | 59:00

Homelessness is a complex problem. We don't have any one-size-fits-all solution to the problem in this program, but we do have some suggestions for how people can better manage the conflicted feelings they may have toward the unhoused. Listeners will hear good suggestions on daily ways they might be able to help, and it's not about handing out money. Also, we hear about how Houston, with its "HOUSING FIRST" approach, has managed to reduce its homelessness situation significantly. Correspondent Emily Cohen does our reporting and interviews on this heart-felt show.

Bridging Political Divisions

From Good Radio Shows, Inc. | Part of the Peace Talks Radio: Weekly Hour Long Episodes series | 59:00

On this edition of Peace Talks Radio, we explore political division. Research shows that polarization isn’t just something we see in politics or with elected officials, but that it is affecting our relationships with family members, neighbors, and coworkers. This program features voices from people working to mend this division and gives listeners tips to how ask “curious questions” to help find common ground.
