  When we pursue passions, especially in a group, a decision needs to be made that the pursuit of the thing will be a way to make money.  Making sure everyone is aligned to the goal while still maintaining the love for the thing is a challenge many people face.  How do we do this without selling ourselves out? Banana Chant has an amazing outlook on this balance, and as a group, they find that balance seamlessly. It's not easy, but they talk about it openly in an effort to make sure that it is the thing that drives them, not the money.    ///   Today is a More In Common first…a full band…Banana Chant.  They are an up-and-coming Alternative Rock Band located in Miami, Florida. With influences such as The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Young The Giant, Jimi Hendrix, and The Beatles, Banana Chant's music is deeply rooted in an authentic appreciation for good old-fashioned rock and roll.   A 4 piece band made up of Gilexson (Singer/Songwriter), Tanis Perez (Guitarist), Vanessa Faith (Bassist), and Doof (Drummer), Banana Chant strives to make music that they personally like to hear. It is not for monetary gain but for the love of music that keeps Banana Chant going. They have one EP released, "The Balloon Room," and an album, "Paying off Student Loans," which was released on March 20, 2021.   Their most recent video, "Floating," is the bands' self-proclaimed magnum opus.  A song about isolation and addition, providing a haunting ghostlike quality with relaxed drums and a colorful bassline. The chorus is euphoric as Gilexson's falsetto and Vanessa's harmonies drift directly into your heart.   /// Topics we discuss:   Balancing monetary goals and the purity of the music Understanding roles and strengths in a groupDivision of labor Their process of music creationBreaking news from Vanessa What 'Can't Believe' means from Gio himself   References: Banana Chant WebsiteAlbum - Paying off Student Loans Song - Floating Song - Milky Way Jason Derulo – Take You Dancing Miami Beach Condo Collapse   Credits:   Music: Main Theme: "Eaze Does It" by Shye Eaze and DJ Rufbeats, a More In Common Podcast Exclusive.

We all work with people with who we don't always see eye to eye.  Sometimes it's our closest relationships that challenge us the most.  Put those two together, and it can be a challenge to accomplish what you set out to. Banana Chant embodies the struggles and the way to resolve those struggles in order to accomplish the common goal.  A group that produces amazing music has to navigate the nuances of relationships, responsibilities, and the dynamics of a team environment.  Banana Chant gracefully navigates those challenges and tells us about it in Part 1 of this conversation.   ///   Today is a More In Common first…a full band…Banana Chant.  They are an up-and-coming Alternative Rock Band located in Miami, Florida.

Viele Menschen, so sagte eine Studie, empfinden den Ton in der öffentlichen Debatte als immer hasserfüllter. Meinungen werden häufig zu einer Art Religionsersatz. Man verfeindet und beschimpft sich über Corona, Gendern und den Kampf gegen den Klimawandel. Warum ist das so? Wie kann man wieder mehr Zusammenhalt schaffen? Welche Rezepte haben die Parteien? Das beredet die hr-info-Politikredaktion in der Küche und kocht auch ein bisschen was: Reis, Kartoffeln und Paprika mit Ras el Hanout! 33 Minuten lang; wer will, kann danach noch 9 Minuten "After Party" hören: Darin unter anderem natürlich auch, wie es uns selbst geschmeckt hat.

Pink Granite contributor Jenifer Sarver interviews Christiana Lang of More In Common. The two discuss MiC's recently released Threads of Texas study.Read the report here: https://threadsoftexas.us/en/ More in Common took shape from work undertaken since 2016 to understand why so many societies were dividing around debates about their identity and belonging, and why people were being increasingly persuaded to see debates about immigration, refugees and diversity through the lens of ‘us-versus-them'. Since then, we have broadened our research agenda and incorporated several layers of social psychology research to provide a deeper analysis of the different factors contributing to polarization and social fracturing.

Is Britain really the hopelessly split society that we fear? The good news is that as the Brexit rubble settles, our common ground is growing, and Britain is more up for serious political change than almost any other Western democracy. Tim Dixon, co-founder of pro-consensus pressure group More In Common and former advisor to Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard in Australia, talks to Ros Taylor about the weird online and offline dynamics that over-represent vocal extremes, and why Brexity nationalists agree with progressives more than you think. “We've lived off the capital of past generations in terms of the glue that holds society together. Now we need to reinvest in it.”“People's identities as Remainer or Leaver is still a lot stronger than their identification with a political party.”“We tend to forget that most people don't see the world through a political lens.”“If politics can come back into people's lives, and be useful again, then it can be really transformative.”Presented by Ros Taylor. Produced Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.

What do you think the other side thinks? Guest Dan Vallone is the Director of More in Common U.S.A., an organization that’s been asking Democrats and Republicans that critical question. Their work has uncovered countless “perception gaps” in our understanding of each other. For example, Democrats think that about 30 percent of Republicans support "reasonable gun control," but in reality, it’s about 70 percent. Both Republicans and Democrats think that about 50 percent of the other side would feel that physical violence is justified in some situations, but the actual number for each is only about five percent. “Both sides are convinced that the majority of their political opponents are extremists,” says Dan. “And yet, that's just not true.” Social media encourages the most extreme views to speak the loudest and rise to the top—and it’s hard to start a conversation and work together when we’re all arguing with mirages. But Dan’s insights and the work of More in Common provide a hopeful guide to unraveling the distortions we’ve come to accept and correcting our foggy vision.

Dan Vallone, US Director of More in Common, joins host Ryan Wrecker to chat about the rebuilding of trust and civility through discussion. Later, hear Dr. Anthony Fauci’s latest Thanksgiving recommendations and Ryan’s opinion on the advice. Listen to the show on Apple Podcasts?

Home By Dark, The City of Alpharetta, Fulton County Arts & Culture, and Arts Alpharetta present the latest episode of A SONG CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE podcast recorded at the Alpharetta Arts Center Black Box. Our guest for this episode is Kyshona Armstrong. Kyshona Armstrong, a music therapist gone rogue, has a natural gift for using music to tap into emotion. She began her career as a music therapist, working in mental health hospitals and correctional facilities, writing music with her patients and using music to redirect behaviors and emotions. Kyshona soon found the need to write music independently to help her process her daily experiences with clients. Born in South Carolina and raised in a family of gospel quartet musicians, Kyshona's musical upbringing was swamped in a myriad of influences from Beethoven to Guns n' Roses. Today, audiences will often find a common thread of overcoming, hope, and empowerment in her songwriting and storytelling. Earlier this year, Kyshona released her new LP Listen, co-produced with Andrija Tokic (St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Alabama Shakes, Hurray For The Riff Raff) and recorded mostly at his famed Nashville studio The Bomb Shelter. Billboard said, “LISTEN highlights Kyshona's descriptive songwriting and soulful vocals alongside a versatile blend of folk, rock and R&B influences. While Kyshona sings of fear, hope, community, love and understanding throughout the 10-track project, she also finds herself.” NPR's All Songs Considered said, “I don't think it's a coincidence that she called it LISTEN, because she has that very real conviction that the act of listening and the feeling of being heard are fundamental human needs…there's that sense of purpose in the language that she chooses, that sense of speaking in a collective way. There are particular songs where she will address ‘Brothers and Sisters…hear what I'm saying.' It's stately, noble language, and sometimes it's optimistic, and sometimes it's more confrontational…it's always emphatic, but it's also warm.” Kyshona has shared the stage with Margo Price, Wynonna Judd, Lake Street Drive, Meiko, Even Stevens, JD McPherson, Fink, Devon Gilfillian, and many more. Deemed “One of the most compassionate and uplifting young voices in Nashville today.” by NPR Music's World Cafe, Kyshona's music has been heard on Issa Rae's (HBO's Insecure) short film series, and major prime time television shows on ABC, CBS and NBC On this episode of A SONG CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE, Kyshona and host, James Casto, dive into her powerful song More In Common.

We were honored to have the Director of Research of More in Common, Stephen Hawkins, take some time to share about their history, goals, and discoveries.More in Common was founded in 2016 to address division in society and find ways for us to focus on what we have in common. While there are similar forces threatening democratic societies, they have established separate national teams with their own national strategies, because they believe strategies to strengthen resilience against the forces of division must build on each society's unique national and regional characteristics.In their work, they aim for originality, strategic rigor and a sound evidence base. They put learning at the center of our work. They don't have all the answers, but they are committed to deepening their insights, improving their approaches and measuring their impact. As a learning organization, they put a high value on collaboration and are committed to sharing their own insights generously with those who share their goals.Learn more about More in Common by visiting their site:More in Common Site | https://bit.ly/39I0kgmJo Cox Foundation | https://bit.ly/3fftzImFor George Floyd, a complicated life and a notorious death | https://bit.ly/3hRG66JPromo: https://twitter.com/BodyCountPodMember: BigHeadsMedia Podcasting Network★ Support this podcast ★

According to a recent survey, 99% of Progressive Activists in America feel that immigration is good for America while 98% of Devoted Conservatives think it’s bad. 97% of the activists think the police treat African Americans more violently than others while 93% of the conservatives think police are mostly fair to all races. And 99% of the activists disapprove of Donald Trump while 98% of the conservatives approve of him.While these numbers reveal polarization in the extreme, there’s good news. It turns out that these two groups don’t represent the majority of Americans – a majority that is sick and tired of this divide and thinks we have more in common than not.Tonight, we’re joined by Dan Vallone from More In Common, an organization that has been studying our growing political divide. Dan joins us to talk about the results of their 2018 polarization survey and the work they’re doing to bridge the divide. He’ll also fill us in on the results of a study they just released called Polarization and the Pandemic: How COVID-19 is Changing Us.
