Getting to 3rd Space with Lamar and Tom

"3rd Space" is a space where two or more people with differing viewpoints, ideologies, and worldviews can come together to hear, listen, share, and connect with one another. In this podcast two lifelong friends, Lamar Roth and Tom Klaus, carve out a 3rd Space where everything can be on the table for open, straightforward, honest, and, yet kind and respectful inquiry. Getting to 3rd Space with Lamar and Tom features an exploration of how to talk with one another about significant, even controversial, issues with grace and humor. Getting to 3rd Space features "Table Talks," modeled after the conversations Lamar and Tom learned to do around the kitchen tables of the Midwestern communities where they grew up. Their "Table Talks" focus on one or two topics each podcast and explore how they, and occasional guests, think and feel about them, and why. Sometimes the podcast will feature a guest and focus on learning more about them and their work.
