The Dani Cook Show
We live in a world of intersecting issues with too many one issue voters. This is a safe space to have engaging, tough dialogue and even discourse to examine the things that divide us in an effort to bring us together. From politics and health care to social justice and education, we tackle the subjects others argue about and we do it with respect, compassion, authenticity, and vulnerability. Because people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.
