The Process
There is no shortage of information. If you want to know "WHAT" is happening choose any news source, at random, and likely they will cover the same stories as any other outlet. But will they have context? Can they explain "WHY?" something is happening? Open conversation is scary. Open conversation can create odd narratives, but it also helps us all better understand our world.
The process is a show born from years of experience as both a student of politics and a trial attorney - a combined study in motivation, law, politics, policy, and society that helps focus analysis on the "why behind the what" of daily life. The process is for those who want to understand.
