At Our Table with Jaime Harrison

At Our Table with Jaime Harrison

At Our Table with Jaime Harrison is a new podcast inviting America to pull up a seat for honest, unfiltered conversations about our nation’s challenges and hopes. Hosted by former DNC Chair Jaime Harrison, the show brings together today’s most compelling voices for candid, “family table” discussions that cut through the noise. When Jaime got back from college, his grandfather told him, “I don’t want to hear all that fancy talk. Speak it plain.” At Our Table takes that advice to heart. At this table, everyone is welcome. But there’s no BS. Just real talk about how we move forward — together.
