Of Two Minds is a podcast where we invite two people with very different views to speak with each other. It’s kind of a social experiment: A conversation between people that share something deeply in common and yet they remain deeply divided. First host Sarah Shourd interviews each guest separately and asks them about their life and what shaped their beliefs. Then we have them to talk to each other and hash things out. |
