ABOUT THE SHOW
How do we change our hearts and minds?
What moves us to shift our political worldviews, transcend extremism, and make other kinds of transformative change?
Reckonings is an exploration of how we look in the mirror, and grow from what we see.
Stories have included that of a tough-on-crime prosecutor who revolutionized his understanding of our criminal justice system, a former Facebook executive who's since devoted his life to tackling technology addiction, and a perpetrator and survivor of sexual assault who managed to work through it using restorative justice.

Reckonings is produced by Stephanie Lepp.
For the last episode of Reckonings, none other than: Donald Trump.
This episode is part of Deep Reckonings — a series of explicitly-marked deepfake videos that imagine Mark Zuckerberg, Brett Kavanaugh, and other public figures having a reckoning. Here, an imaginary Donald Trump concedes the 2020 election. Watch the video and access the transcript: www.deepreckonings.com/trump

#29 || DEEP RECKONINGS
If Brett Kavanaugh, Alex Jones, and Mark Zuckerberg had a crisis of conscience, what would they say? Reckonings presents Deep Reckonings — a project that uses deepfakes to take Reckonings in a *fictional* direction, and imagine public figures having a reckoning. Watch the full series and learn more about the project: deepreckonings.com (deepreckonings.com)
This is the last Reckonings episode for a while, and maybe...the last episode.

#28 || How To Tackle Trump's Lies
How do we cover the communications of a president who lies, especially when those lies can be fatal? The traditional rituals of journalism don't really work with a president who doesn't tell the truth, and so, what can we do instead? Reckonings presents Infinite Lunchbox on the topic of how to tackle Trump's lies — aka *post-truth jujitsu*.
NOTE: Infinite Lunchbox is better viewed than heard — watch this episode on YouTube: bit.ly/posttruthjujitsu (bit.ly/posttruthjujitsu)
