Podcast: The future of depolarization

Esther Cash is a liberal college student at Biola, a conservative Christian university in California. As a program associate for Braver Angels, she helps coordinate our debates program in communities and colleges across the country.

Today, she joins the podcast to discuss her own political evolution, the nature of polarization on college campuses, and how young people can lead the generational effort to rehabilitate our political conversation at a time of rancor, uncertainty, and alienation.
