Becoming better citizens, kinder neighbors and more effective advocates.

Each week we take a potentially divisive topic and go searching for perspectives on it that help us feel more empathy, more hope, and maybe a little challenged. We’re not trying to change your mind. We just think in a world that’s so divided, there’s power in thinking deeply about why we see things the way we do. We believe it can help us become better citizens, more effective advocates, and kinder neighbors. Hosted by award-winning journalist Julie Rose, the Top of Mind podcast is a production of BYUradio.
