Like previous State of the Union addresses, My Beloved Americans begins with an exploration of the crucial questions our nation must address together or face the harrowing consequences. With so many challenges ahead, the choices we make now will affect the future of this country. Will Americans step up to face our crisis of belonging? You decide.
In this episode, we talk to Jasmine Joshua and Harry Turpin of the Reboot Theatre Company and dive straight into the tough questions that are on our minds: What are we doing (about all the major issues this country is having...but also, what's for dinner?!), and Are we too different (to pull ourselves together to solve these issues?!). Take a listen through iTunes and "like" or leave a comment." Or, listen below.
