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.
