Ep02: How to Find Common Ground Through Honest Conversations
What happens when you stop correcting "misinformation" and start building relationships with people who don't trust science? Emmy-winning journalist Brinda Adhikari, former executive producer for Jon Stewart, launched "Why Should I Trust You?" to bring skeptics and scientists together without fact-checking or debating. Her longest episodes (over two hours of dialogue between the Make America Healthy Again movement and public health experts) became her most downloaded, sparking real-world impact from East Palestine, Ohio to changed patient communication. With 40 episodes since January 2025, she's proving that building trust requires letting go of control.
