S3E14.5 - It's a Throwback Episode!

This throwback episode takes us back to Episode 7 in Season 3, when, on April Fools’ Day eve, Lamar and Tom had a bit of fun with some of the odd but true stories in the news. Hey, it’s still a heavy world right now and we still need an occasional break. We chose this as a throwback episode because it has been the most widely watched, downloaded, and listened to so far this season. Enjoy again…or for the first time.

Meet Lamar and Tom

Lamar Roth and Tom Klaus are lifelong friends exploring how to get to a 3rd Space - a space where two or more people with opposing viewpoints, ideologies, and worldviews can come together to hear, listen, share, and connect with one another. Together Lamar and Tom hope to carve out a 3rd Space where everything can be on the table for open, straightforward, honest, and, yet kind and respectful inquiry.
