This podcast episode was recorded at the end of season one of Jon’s new show, “The Problem With Jon Stewart” on AppleTV. Instead of discussing a topic with a panel of guest experts, he and his team are taking and responding to viewer feedback.
It is a masterclass in civil discourse sprinkled with political satire—just enough to cushion or buffer the conversation's sharp edges.
Jon is insightful, intelligent, and self-aware and gives us an excellent example of navigating extremely touchy subjects in conversation with people who matter to you.
19:49 Jon: “What he [the caller] has found is the dilemma of all dilemmas, which is where do you draw the line of principled action and criticism while still living the exploitative life that we all live, to some point?”
36:21 Jon: “It’s so hard to remain present, especially in conversations where you have an intention.”
I was moved, watching it.
If they can do it, so can the rest of us.
