Episode notes

This chapter discusses the resurgence of porches as a response to the isolation caused by modern society. It explores the impact of technology on community engagement and highlights the stark contrast between supportive communities and individualistic behaviors.

In a divided society, idealists believe we can overcome our differences.

Alexandra Hudson is one of those idealists. Disillusioned by the backstabbing she witnessed in federal government, she began to research how we can repair the divisions keeping us apart.

We discuss what being civil means in a dog-eat-dog culture and why building a more connected community can start on the front porch.

This...is A Bit of Optimism.
