Podcast Description
Upstream is a politics and society podcast that takes a deeper look at our world, going beyond conventional analysis and media punditry.

We bring psychology, history, culture, philosophy and human nature into the mix to gain a better understanding of what is happening, and why. Episodes are co-hosted by John Bell and/or John Zada, two co-founders of The Conciliators Guild, an organization highlighting the role of underlying motivations in politics.
