John Wood, Jr. highlights a surprising potential political partnership in congress, and reveals a new Better Angels process...

Ciaran talks to Ezra Klein about the state of our public conversation, viewpoint diversity on college campuses, the rise of the intellectual dark web, and whether Better Angels can truly find values that meaningfully connect Americans across ideological differences.

Better Angels leader and media director John Wood, Jr. calls upon us to "Unite America," addressing the challenges and arguments against depolarization in this special episode of The Better Angels Podcast.

John and Ciaran sit down with conservative community organizer and Evangelical Christian Evan Chase to discuss Evangelical politics, support for Trump, race and the power of love to transform community.

Ciaran and John talk about their roads to Better Angels, the Depolarization Movement, Martin Luther King, Jr., the need for community and how to apply love in politics.

Prominent Democratic strategist and Director of the Center for the Political Future at USC Bob Shrum talks with Ciaran and John about his friendship with Co-Director (and prominent GOP strategist) Mike Murphy, their work at the center, and how American politics became so divided.
