We sit with author and podcaster Teri M. Brown to explore how fiction builds empathy, why Ukraine’s past matters to the present, and how to argue without hate. We challenge media echo chambers, defend real free speech, and make the case for reading widely as an antidote to doomscrolling.

• the meaning behind Sunflowers Beneath the Snow
• 2014 as the overlooked precursor to 2022
• focusing on people over punditry
• correcting errors and valuing accuracy
• free speech versus threats and incitement
• media bias in a 24-hour news cycle
• reading fiction to expand empathy
• labels versus listening and real debate
• civics and argument skills in schools
• independent thinking and mixed positions
• compromise as a civic habit, not a weakness
