In this episode of Nobody’s Side, we ask a simple but revealing question: Would you rather see your political side win uninterrupted power for the next 30 years, or see both parties share power and actually work together? The answers uncover how Americans think about winning, compromise, and trust.

Americans now call the “other side” immoral, dangerous, even evil. Are we really this far gone — or can ordinary people still find their way back to each other?

Is friendship possible across political division? For most, it's -- complicated. 

In this episode, we listen as Americans from different walks of life describe how our divisions look and feel on the ground — and what they believe lies at the root of them.

The journey begins. In this episode, we meet the first eleven voices in this project — everyday Americans sharing what matters most to them, in their own words.

I’ve had a knot in my stomach about where our country is headed — about how angry and divided we’ve become.

In this first episode of Nobody’s Side, I share why I started this project, what it’s about, and what I hope it can mean for all of us.

It started with a knot in my stomach — the kind you get when you know something’s wrong, but you’re not sure how to fix it.

So I began talking to people. Not pundits or politicians — just Americans. One Republican and one Democrat from every state.

I asked them what they see, what they believe, and whether they still think we can live together as one nation.

This is Nobody’s Side — a podcast about division -- and the hope that we’re not too far gone.
