On FEDtalk this week, join host Natalia Castro for a discussion on the current state of partisan politics in the United States. The guests will discuss how our country got to the polarized place we find ourselves in today and what can be done to bridge the divide. The show kicks off with a keynote address by Mike Murphy, Director of the FixUs initiative, on the history of polarization and what politicians, the media, and everyday Americans can do to move forward.

The conversation continues with Michele Nellenbach of the Bipartisan Policy Center and Ryan Clancy of No Labels.
