Civil Discourse

Civil Discourse is a local podcast hosted by former State Senator
Peter Bear and Eric Brant. Peter and Eric connect the dots from
historical events to current issues in an effort to correctly
predict the outcomes. We lay out current events, expand on the
issues, and blend facts with our own take on the subject matter.
This show aims to easily and accurately break down complex
political situations for working America. Erik began political
debates early - at nine years of age - which continued to grow and
lean left while he was still in his teens. These days,
politics consume his life. From the moment he wakes up
and turns on MSNBC, to the moment before he falls asleep with
a book by Paul Krugman on his night stand; he always has
politics on his mind.  Eric states, "I enjoy
learning about our country’s history in an effort to connect the
dots of the past and present, to help predict the future. I have
written online articles for several years, and I also do a podcast
with a former State Senator. For I believe that it is one thing to
educate yourself, and something far more respectable to interpret
that knowledge in a way that you can get it out to the public in an
effort to make the world a better place. We are all highways for
information to travel to the every corner of the planet."
