The podcast your mother warned you about

Village Square’s Founder & CEO, Liz Joyner, riffs on the inspiration and story behind The Village Square, how they do what they do and why it’s easier than you think to change people’s minds about each other. She also shares why she has hope (and you should too).

We’re kicking off the Village SquareCast just as things started for The Village Square 14 years ago — with Liz Joyner, Founder and CEO.  Liz riffs on the inspiration and story behind The Village Square, how we do what we do and why it’s easier than you think to change people’s minds about each other. She also shares why she has hope (and you should too).

In this first podcast episode titled The podcast your mother warned you about, you’ll learn why we say that and you’ll hear about the 30+ programs The Village Square offers annually where we bring together diverse groups of people for dialogue and disagreement on various topics related to politics, religion, and race. Learn about each of our programs – Dinner at the Square, God Squad, and Local Color – and other events like Created Equal and The Longest Table which we host each year with several community partners.
