How Do We Fix It?
Co-hosts Richard Davies and Jim Meigs come from different sides of the political spectrum and engage with each other openly about their differences while finding common ground and getting input from guests on how to solve problems across divides. The guest list and approach earn a center bias rating. This show is explicitly devoted to working with different sides to find solutions.
Richard and Jim bring their extensive journalism experience and contrasting political backgrounds to find solutions to the problems we face. They both experienced a world and media so obsessed with differences and problems that there was little room for talking about common ground or practical solutions. With wit, insight, and fascinating guests, they are pressing for practical solutions.

Our first episode of 2022 is all about a constructive response to the calamitous events of one year ago: The January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol.
On January 5th, a coalition of organizations, led by Ideos Institute, will host the first annual National Day of Dialogue. We discuss this invitation to all Americans to push back against deep divides. We also explore the need for hard talk and getting into our discomfort zones.
“As a nation, we have largely lost our ability to have hard conversations without judgment, animus, or fear,” says our guest, Ideos President & CEO, Christy Vines. "Deep down we all want to have these kinds of moments with somebody we would disagree with and who we often see as the enemy... Not enough people are getting those opportunities to see the human behind the positions they hold."
