Episode 008. Craig McNamara - Part #1: On War & Peace

The Control Variable with Kim Cutter is a weekly podcast series that takes a deep look at the many problems plaguing our fractured country and talks to the people who are offering solutions to help us evolve as a society. Hosted by journalist Kim Cutter, the weekly series picks up from Kim's five-part investigation into the propaganda that led to the attack on the Capitol and continues to examine the myths we've been telling ourselves since the founding of our country and how these myths continue to polarize our society. Each week, Kim talks to people from all professions, and all over the political spectrum, who help unravel fact from fiction around the greatest challenges of our times: the limitations of our two-party system, the widening wealth gap, the inequity baked into the American meritocracy, gun violence, the perils of climate change, the hunger for God amidst religious corruption, and many other issues. Join Kim for in-depth, always enlightening, and humorous conversations with the people who are trying to put our world back together.
