Tackling Difficult Topics with Bruce Anthony
Mar 20, 2024 Season 2 Episode 6
Adrienne Trier-Bieniek

In this episode of Most Popular we are talking about the conversations that are hard to have! Joining Dr. Adrienne is the fantastic  Bruce Anthony of the "Unsolicited Perspectives." podcast. Bruce discusses his journey into podcasting, his experiences, and his approach towards discussing difficult but important topics, including learning from his past conversations about issues he thought he knew a lot about. Bruce highlights how being in diverse settings such as the restaurant industry allowed him to grow and evolve. Bruce also talks about the importance of expanding one's social circle to enrich one's understanding and worldview. He also delivers a shocker of a person that he would vote "most popular"-this choice cannot be missed! All said, this is an engaging discussion about the role of education, importance of continual learning, and the influence of podcasts as a medium for facilitating difficult conversations.

Bruce Anthony is the host of the Unsolicited Perspectives podcast where he delves into unique and authentic views on current events, social-political topics, race, class, and gender. Bruce believes that acquiring knowledge from diverse aspects of life helps us evolve as individuals and become more complete human beings. Bruce holds a degree in history from the University of Maryland, where he initially pursued a career in teaching, and the essence of being an educator remains at his core. Unsolicited Perspectives aspires to create a space where we can learn from one another, broaden our horizons, and gain a deeper understanding of the world around us.
