At Our Table with Jaime Harrison

At Our Table with Jaime Harrison

At Our Table with Jaime Harrison is a 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.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
