Can We Talk? Joan Blades/LUNCH W LOUDEN Thur 12 Noon Pacific

In Washington DC, it seems that most of the talking is being done in sound bites to the cameras, for the sake of blaming someone else in the government shutdown...or whatever happens to be the crisis of the moment.

Last week on LUNCH W LOUDEN, we interviewed former Tea Party member, Shane Brooks and he revealed what caused him to start listening to people who had different beliefs than he did.  

This week, we’ll interview MoveOn co-founder, Joan Blades about her current project, Living Room Conversations. In her work, Joan has befriended Mark Meckler, co-founder of Tea Party Patriots.  We’ll hear Joan’s story of how she came to know Mark, their unlikely conversation on crony capitalism and what else they discovered they have in common.  

It’s never a full conversation without YOU, please join us for this blue plate special of civility and seemingly uncommon good sense.

*For the sake of transparency:  Debilyn co-created Living Room Conversations with Joan Blades as part of the Changing the Game team.  Changing the Game (and Debilyn) also worked with Coffee Party USA.
