On Speaking Terms

Real Conversations · Safe Space · Stronger Connections

At some point, we forgot how to disagree without becoming enemies. This podcast is our attempt to change that.

Launching September 3, 2026  ·  Every Other Thursday

About the Show

We come from very different worlds. We don't always agree. But we believe the biggest problems facing society can't be solved by people who refuse to talk to one another. Every episode, we take on conversations that easily end friendships and make family dinners awkward.

"If you believe disagreement does not have to mean division, you're in the right place. Let's stay on speaking terms."

Society. Patriarchy. Faith. Forgiveness. Gender. Politics. The conversations most people avoid — we go there deliberately, with honesty, and without losing each other.
