What it is about

Former Tennessee Governors Phil Bredesen and Bill Haslam bring their perspectives to some of the country’s most challenging public policy questions, joined by expert guests with a range of viewpoints. In Season 9, they turn their attention to issues shaping the national conversation ahead of the midterm elections, including redistricting, affordability and what the polling numbers reveal about American voters. Produced by the Howard H. Baker Jr. School of Public Policy and Public Affairs at the University of Tennessee, "You Might Be Right" demonstrates that disagreement doesn’t have to mean division. Through thoughtful, civil conversations, the podcast explores complex issues, finds areas of common ground, and models a more constructive approach to public discourse.
