STORY and POLITICS with Dominick and Virginia

Language of the Soul Podcast

Join Dominick and Virginia as we unravel the intricate dance between narrative and politics, as well as the age-old role of STORY in political campaigning. In this episode, we spotlight the media's role in shaping perceptions and its troubling relationship with misinformation. Our discussion warns against inflammatory rhetoric and champions the return of nuance to policy discussions (in lieu of polarizing issues into binary categories.) This kind of self-regulation is essential as we grapple with complex geopolitical issues during this campaign season and election cycle. We are being called upon to audit our own cherry picking and confirmation bias as we develop an awareness of identity politics. Bipartisan solutions lie solely in retiring echo chambers and the all-too common lifestyle of living in respective bubbles. In the spirit of Language of the Soul Podcast, we are indeed 'turning a page,' culturally. Our call to action is to join in the paradigm shift. To join in the telling of a NEW story--one about who we choose to become moving forward--one about interconnectivity and the march toward human potential.

Now more than ever, it’s tempting to throw our hands in the air and surrender to futility in the face of global strife. Storytellers know we must renew hope daily. We are being called upon to embrace our interconnectivity, transform paradigms, and trust the ripple effect will play its part. In the words of Lion King producer Don Hahn (Episode 8), “Telling stories is one of the most important professions out there right now.” We here at Language of the Soul Podcast could not agree more.
