The participants (myself included) were all members of the WBW board. They included: Donnal Walter (Arkansas), Odile Hugonot Haber (Michigan), John Reuwer (Vermont), Alice Slater (New York) and our host, Marc Eliot Stein. We were invited to discourse on matters including Trumpism, cultural divides, the Green New Deal, deeper issues and hopeful solutions. The topic was an assessment of the current and imminent state of the USA. (You can listen to the podcast here.)
