We're halfway through the 2020 Democratic/Republican conventions, and this week on Cross Currents we're joined by two experts to help us unpack-- Frank Fahrenkopf, chairman of the Republican National Committee from 1983 to 1989 and current Chairman of the Commission on Presidential Debates; and Loretta Ucelli, Director of White House Communications during the Presidency of Bill Clinton from 1999 to 2001.

Then, Bruce Mehlman joins the conversation to talk about the future of policy-- and how it may be coming faster than we think. You'll also hear a segment from West Virginia Public Broadcasting's #InsideAppalachia on finding some extra cash right in your own yard.
