Description
Balance is an unwelcome guest in our increasingly polarized society. The Equipoise podcast seeks to bring stability and level-headed thinking to the conversations we have every day, usually with a dash of humor. Symmetry and equilibrium is sorely needed in our beliefs and behaviors, and that’s why the Equipoise podcast exists: to bring some balance to the table.
