In The Middle
by Josiah and Renee
🚨POD UPDATE! & Why You Should Have Friends With Different Opinions
About this podcast
We all have a different opinion, not one of us is the same but so often we come into unhealthy debates, disagreements and divides in our society. What if we told you two good mates could be so different in their values, beliefs and lifestyles yet still get along well?
Inspired by the divide and cancel culture that is happening within our current world, each week we will be exploring and debating topics that society is puttin’ down.
In this podcast, we will discuss, debate and talk about our opinions on things that are impacting both ours and the lives around us. We will hear each other out and see whether we can meet in the middle… or if we remain stuck and strong in our own values.
Join radio anchor Josiah https://www.instagram.com/josiahshala/ and vegan entrepreneur and radio producer Renee https://www.instagram.com/renee_buckingham/
each week.
Get involved in the conversation and let us know where you stand - https://www.instagram.com/inthemiddle_thepodcast/
Please know these podcast episodes are a reflection of our own personal lived experiences and we are not here to shame anyone that may or may not agree with that. These are unfiltered, honest and vulnerable conversations where we support one another to hold their beliefs and respect the other.
