PERSPECTIVE 2020
Perspective 2020 is about self-awareness, honesty, genuine dialogue, and - as the name suggests - perspective.

And it's time for that to change. Host Kara Credle talks with people from different backgrounds, working different jobs, perceiving the world in unique, personal ways. Listeners are challenged and encouraged to seek out in particular the perspectives that are most unfamiliar to them.
