The Lunch Break with Josh & Ted Wachtel
This season Josh & Ted dive deeper into the topic of deliberative democracy.
Using a “talk show” format, Josh opens and closes the hour with a tune, and engages in an preliminary chat with Ted before they introduce their guest.
There is always an opportunity for the “studio audience” to submit relevant comments and questions.
For your convenience, when you register for one of the dates, you are automatically enrolled for the other dates in the series and get an emailed a recording link afterwards.
The final two session in our fall series include:
Wayne Liebman – Weds, Nov 4, Noon EST (UTC-5)
Wayne Liebman is a leading advocate for democratic lottery and deliberation. His advocacy led to a 2022 citizens’ assembly in Petaluma, California to plan the future use of the city’s fairground — the first municipal citizens’ assembly held in California. He is currently involved in bringing citizens’ assemblies to LA where he lives and in helping to expand the national influence of Sortition USA.
True Representation Sketches – Weds, Nov 18, Noon EST (UTC-5)
Ted and Josh will reflect on the movement toward greater citizen involvement in governance and share some of Ted’s True Representation “sketches” — descriptions of new kinds of deliberative bodies in government and business that are chosen by democratic lottery.
