The Lost Debate team, Ravi Gupta, Cory Bradford & Rikki Schlott, sit down with Bridget to discuss the mission behind The Lost Debate podcast program and the intention to create a space and media company that brings different people together to have conversations. They discuss how they all wound up working together, why they try not to speak to their audience's biases, the rise of the phrase "I don't agree with everything you say," reaching people outside of their silos, trying to present nuance while trying to be real at the same time, going international, and taking their responsibility to sift through the evidence and give as accurate a report as possible seriously. They also cover sticking to satire and not insult, how intolerant people are becoming of differing views, how the duopoly does not represent the younger generation of Americans who are increasingly very purple, their rule about the "both sides" argument, and trying to capture the youth before they get radicalized.
