On Speaking Terms

About On Speaking Terms

At some point, people forgot how to disagree without becoming enemies. This podcast is our attempt to change that. Kevin Howard is a military veteran, banker, and the author of Onward, At Last a collection of essays that encourage reflection, resilience and hope. Diana Colleen is the author of They Could Be Saviors and a psychedelic facilitator who explores human transformation through fiction, asking what happens when personal healing collides with society’s biggest challenges. We take on conversations that easily end friendships and make family dinners awkward.
