In their interview on Sounds Like Impact, Dr. Nichole Argo and Scott Hutcheson discuss their podcast, Reimagining Us, which addresses the growing divisions in American society. They explain concepts like affective polarization—where individuals dislike members of opposing political parties—and the perception gap, which leads to misunderstandings about others’ beliefs. Argo and Hutcheson emphasize the importance of intentional efforts to bridge divides, suggesting that fostering personal connections and understanding across differences can counteract polarization and promote a more united society.
