Bridge to Better
This podcast will give the people a voice and amplify the stories of the unheard. Guests will have the option to remain anonymous if they choose. Unlike the CNNs, MSNBCs, and the Fox’s of the world, there are no ulterior motives tangential to unfettered conversations here at the Bridge to Better; there are no corporate bottom lines to support and no so called "analysts" to push establishment narratives. Here, we will give a voice to the voiceless and shine a light on the ideas of REAL people. IG: bridgetobetter Email: bridgetobetterpodcast@gmail.com
