BRIDGING POLITICAL DIVIDES

This episode of City Watch delves into one of the most crucial conversations in America today—how to bridge political divides and foster understanding across opposing views. As we approach the pivotal November 5th presidential election, the stakes feel higher than ever and the polarization sharper.

In this episode, host Jeff Simmons talks with Mónica Guzmán, author of “I Never Thought of It That Way: How to Have Fearlessly Curious Conversations in Dangerously Divided Times.” (BenBella Books).

In the second half of the show, Jeff speaks with NYS Senator Jessica Ramos, who has just announced her run for mayor of NYC against Eric Adams! Hear her vision for the city and her thoughts on the current administration.

Engaging with listeners on this is vital because the way we navigate our political differences will have a lasting impact on the health of our democracy. By opening up a dialogue on how to have respectful, curious conversations with those who see the world differently, we’re equipping our audience with tools to engage meaningfully, not just in politics, but in their everyday lives.
