About The Home Front
Civic Forum is a podcast for a country in transition. It takes on the economic, political, technological, and cultural forces reshaping American life, with voices and ideas that too often stay inside the usual centers of power. The show asks harder questions about who benefits, who gets heard, and what comes next, then takes those conversations into communities across the country. The goal is not consensus.
