<p><strong>Day 30</strong>—the final episode of our 30-day journey into <strong>bridging our divides</strong>.</p><p>Over the last month, we’ve explored everything from navigating disinformation and polarization to building trust and transforming how we relate to one another.

Dialogue vs. Discourse: Understanding the Difference - NaPodPoMo 2025 Day 29

<p><strong>Day 29</strong> of our 30-day challenge, bringing us near the conclusion of our deep dive into <strong>bridging our divides</strong>.</p><p>We’ve talked a lot about connection, listening, and disagreement—but there’s a subtle distinction that can make or break your efforts: the difference between <strong>dialogue</strong> and <strong>discourse</strong>.</p><p>In the context of bridging, these words aren’t interchangeable. Dialogue is a cooperative exchange aimed at understanding, while discourse can often be adversarial, aiming to persuade or argue. Recognizing which approach you’re in — and which is appropriate — is key to successful connection across differences.</p><p>Today’s audience question:</p><p><strong>How do dialogue and discourse differ in the bridging context — and why does that distinction matter?</strong></p><p>Answering that is <strong>Tania Israel</strong>, Professor of Counseling Psychology at UC Santa Barbara and award-winning author of Beyond Your Bubble: How to Connect Across the Political Divide. Tania breaks down how to identify and intentionally use dialogue to foster understanding, even with those you strongly disagree with.</p><p><strong>Learn more:</strong> <a target="_blank" href="https://outrageoverload.net/">OutrageOverload.net</a></p><p><strong>Join the movement to lower the temperature:</strong> <a target="_blank" href="https://outrageoverload.net/join-the-movement/">Count Me In for Calm</a></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Outrage Overload Newsletter at <a href="https://outrageoverload.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">outrageoverload.substack.com/subscribe</a>

Rebuilding Our Shared Community Spaces - NaPodPoMo 2025 Day 28

<p><strong>Day 28</strong> of our 30-day challenge, continuing our deep dive into <strong>bridging our divides</strong>.</p><p>As we approach the end of this journey, we’re shifting to one of the most action-oriented challenges in the bridging movement:</p><p>It’s hard to strengthen community when people rarely come together.</p><p>Neighborhood gathering spots — from local diners to civic clubs — have been fading. Meanwhile, more of our lives have moved online. So how do we create opportunities to reconnect, to show up for one another, and to rebuild a sense of belonging?</p><p>Our audience question today:</p><p><strong>What are some ways in our communities to get people together in person, given that we no longer have shared public spaces?</strong></p><p>To help us explore that, we’re joined by <strong>Karissa Raskin</strong>, Deputy Director at Listen First. Her work revolves around designing community-centered experiences that make face-to-face dialogue not only possible — but joyful.</p><p>Karissa offers inspiring and practical ideas for bringing people together again — whether you’re a local organizer or simply a motivated neighbor.</p><p><strong>Learn more:</strong> <a target="_blank" href="https://outrageoverload.net/">OutrageOverload.net</a></p><p><strong>Join the movement to lower the temperature:</strong> <a target="_blank" href="https://outrageoverload.net/join-the-movement/">Count Me In for Calm</a></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Outrage Overload Newsletter at <a href="https://outrageoverload.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">outrageoverload.substack.com/subscribe</a>
