In Episode 26 of the Common-X Podcast, we sit down with writer and cultural commentator Madeline Summerville from WhatMadelineSays.com to tackle one of today’s most urgent challenges: the growing divide between the political left and right.
We explore how media, identity politics, and fear-based narratives keep us polarized—and what it will take to start listening, understanding, and working together again. Madeline brings bold insight, empathy, and a fresh voice to the conversation about unity, nuance, and reclaiming our common sense.
Whether you're red, blue, or something in between, this episode asks: What if the real enemy isn’t each other—but the systems that benefit from keeping us divided?
