    Can We Be Friends?
    Feb 26 2026

    Two professors meet for the first time—on air. One is a religious pluralist, the other a skeptical atheist, and instead of debating ideas, they explore childhood, faith, ambition, and doubt. Episode one asks a deceptively simple question: can disagreement be the foundation of real friendship?
