In an unprecedented year of divisiveness and rancor across the nation and in our community, Aspen Public Radio was proud to host a series of debates on local issues with the candidates and representatives from important local races. APR is the place on your dial and on your device to find intelligent and reasoned discussion.

  Morning Edition host Renee Montagne moderated several big picture discussions during last week’s ideas festival, and also stopped by Aspen Public Radio to meet listeners and speak about her career during our lawn party June 30th. She also touched on the polarized rhetoric throughout the presidential primaries - a continued result of years of diminished cultural dialog.  

“Look, I love the web, but I have to say: everyone I think by now kind of knows that people tend to search for the things that reinforce what that they think,” said Montagne.

Montagne was joined by NPR political correspondent Asma Khalid, who this year is reporting on the demographics behind the 2016 presidential election.
