Season 3, Episode 8: Jennifer Chace - On Listening Schools
In this episode of the TRM Podcast, Dr. Jennifer Chace joins us to discuss her groundbreaking work in transforming schools into democratic spaces where students are genuinely heard and empowered. Drawing from her dissertation, A Search for Moral Equality: Becoming a Listening School, Dr. Chace shares how she turned a grassroots action into a research-driven movement that trains students to gather peer perspectives, collaborate with educators, and co-create policy changes—from securing AP exam fee waivers to designing mental health curricula. The conversation explores the broader implications of this model, including its potential to revitalize civic life and decision-making at the community level. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in education, participatory democracy, and the future of civic engagement.#EducationReform #StudentVoice #DemocraticSchools #CivicEngagement #YouthEmpowerment #MoralEquality #ListeningSchool #TRMPodcast #JenniferChace #ParticipatoryDemocracy

Season 3, Episode 6: Scott Aikin - On The Dark Enlightenment
In this episode of the TRM Podcast, we sit down with Professor Scott Aikin to unpack the philosophy of "deep disagreement"—the idea that some of our political and cultural divides persist not because we’re irrational, but because we reason from fundamentally incompatible worldviews. From the theoretical roots of this concept to its exploitation by reactionary movements like the "Dark Enlightenment," Aikin explores how these divides are not just psychological but structural—and how bad-faith actors are using memes, mockery, and manufactured spectacle to bypass reason entirely. A powerful conversation about reason, identity, and the battleground of modern discourse.#DeepDisagreement #DarkEnlightenment #PhilosophyPodcast #PoliticalDiscourse #CultureWars #TRMPodcast #RedPill #ReasonAndRhetoric #Polarization #MemePolitics

Season 3, Episode 4: Jeff Schapiro - On Covering Local Politics
In this episode of the TRM Podcast, we sit down with Scholar at The University of Virginia Center for Politics and veteran political reporter, Jeff Shapiro, to reflect on his nearly 45 years covering Virginia politics. From his long tenure at the Richmond Times-Dispatch to his continuing commentary on public radio and and engagement as a Scholar at the University of Virginia, Shapiro brings a wealth of insight to a wide-ranging conversation that spans the reinvention of Virginia’s economy, the legacy of Jerry Connolly, the internal fractures within the Democratic Party, and the evolving role—and dysfunction—of political parties in American democracy. At once historical and timely, this discussion maps the deeper shifts behind today’s political turbulence. #VirginiaPolitics #JeffShapiro #DemocraticParty #JerryConnolly #AOC #PoliticalJournalism #Redistricting #PartyPolitics #AmericanDemocracy #TRMPodcast
