  • Resumen

  • In an era where all debate seems to be increasingly polarized one man tries to have a reasonable conversation. Sometimes it works. Maxed Out, is hosted by Canada’s National Observer’s lead columnist Max Fawcett. If you read his columns or follow him on Twitter, you’ll know Max has a take no prisoner approach when it comes to errors, lies, and disinformation. But like so many people, Max is frustrated by the relentless partisanship and refusal to discuss things in good faith. In other words he is maxed out. You probably are too. In this podcast, Max invites a new guest each week to debate, even contradict him. This isn’t about picking fights. It’s about escaping our silos, and re-learning the art of disagreeing, without being disagreeable. Maybe we’ll all find some new common ground we didn’t know was there.This bi-monthly podcast is all part of Podcast Tuesdays at Canada’s National Observer.
