The show taking the lead on catalytic conversations spurring listeners to think critically about some of our world’s most pressing issues and be compelled to take action.
We have plenty of gaps in America and right here in San Diego—educational, racial, wealth, health, literacy, and more.

To tackle these gaps and lift lives, United Way of San Diego County and the San Diego Council on Literacy have joined forces.
