About the Show
True Progress is a podcast documentary dedicated to investigating the forces that can move our society forward. Our first installment focuses on one of the biggest and most harmful barriers to progress today: polarization. Polarization is something we’ve all heard about and possibly even felt in our everyday relationships. With another presidential election on the horizon and polls showing America’s widening divides, it’s time to take a serious look at how our society became fractured and what we can do, as individuals and collectively, to heal. In conversations with experts, True Progress explores the causes of polarization, its effects on our society, and pathways to solutions.
True Progress: Polarization is presented by Profectus Magazine. It is a product of the Archbridge Institute—a non-partisan, independent, 501(c)(3) public policy think tank—whose mission is to lift barriers to human flourishing.
